Finding an IP Address

I have two computers. I play a lot of online multiplayer games etc. From my computer in one room I want to be able to find out the ip address of the computer in the next room, without necessarily having to get up and walk over there. No, I'm not a lazy ass, I just want to posess the knowledge in case I ever need it. I do not have a router, is there a way I could do it through dos?

 

Usually an IP address is only assigned when a TCPIP protocol attached to the network adapter is loaded.

But if you by DOS are saying "Command prompt in Windows" then you can just enable Netbios for TCPIP and then ping the netbios-computernetworkname. (The name you can see in network neighborhood).

the way snakefoot said should work fine, like said as long as netbios is enabled, or it wont be able to resolve the name.

I presume that you get internet access though a server with 2 NIC's?

Of course you could just make the IP's fixed, thus meaning that each time you want to connect to the other machine you already have its IP written down somewhere

 

Use an app like pcAnywhere or VNC to aid in the connect. WCS you can winipcfg on the remote machine to get the info. That way dont have to have the Netbios involved.
