Is there a way to find out the IP address of the PC from the Mac?

David

Is the PC in question a server or just another workstation?

remote login to the pc and go to the network setting, maybe?

I have it easy, I have a list of all my computers and what IP is assigned to each, just for that one reason.

Nothing I can think of but you can walk over to the PC, open a command prompt window and type in ipconfig and it will tell you. Or look at the adapter settings although if it is connecting via DHCP it won't show you the IP address.

Its a long story I'm at a sister plant and they have a bunch of nexus workflows I want to plunder, do you remember if they are kept in a folder as WF's or they are only accessible that way (as a WF file)  through nexus manager?

Is the share mounted as a volume of the Mac? If so, how? (afp vs. smb)? On my local network, if I do a 'get info' on the mounted volume, it shows me the ip address as the location.

As far back as Nexus 8 they were in folders but I have no idea about later versions.

Will check when I get into the office tomorrow, but wouldn't it be just as easy to save out of NM and restore when u get back to home base?

I can't find a folder for the workflows within the Nexus 9.5.8 folder on our RIP server G. I think Nexus Manager may be your only option for retrieving workflows.

Yea I think your right,  I found the correct IP address but the bugger has users set up in Manager, oh well.
