I have a computer in the network with computer name: XP-201112453 Without knowing the IP, how can I telnet to access this computer?
I tried:
telnet XP-201112453
but terminal gives me "nodename nor servname provided, or not known"
as if the syntax is wrong. I search over the name and only find telneting an IP address. Is it possible to telnet a computer just by knowing the computer name alone?
[EDIT] Telnet from a Mac OS X to access a Windows XP machine. Because IP changes regularly, I would want to find a way to access it by its username or computer name.
nslookup
give you.
