[Resolved] UVNC can't find my system after changing my NIC

[bamim2]

I installed a new 1Gbps NIC in my Windows XP system & now UVNC can't find that system except by its IP address. I'm sure it's still looking for the old IP address. I can ping the system by name. It shows up in Network Neighborhood on my other XP systems & in Network on my Windows 7 system. It even shows up find in my OSX systems. For some reason UVNC just won't find it. I've even tried reinstalling the latest version of UVNC & that didn't fix the problem either. I've also tried shutting down everything on my network & restarting it all, but that didn't do it either.

Does anyone know where UVNC gets its network info? Does it use NetBIOS or ??? Any suggestions on how I can get it to be able to work by name (without putting info in the /etc/hosts file that is)? This is driving me crazy. Thanks for any help I can get.

This magically fixed itself.

Just an FYI, name resolution is handled by the OS and not VNC. Name resolution services are typically handled via DNS, WINS, broadcasts, or static entries in a HOSTS file.

That's what I thought. I guess I should have rebooted of flushed the router, which is where the IP address are stored. I tried flushing the Switches, but duh, I forgot that they only hold the MAC address. Thank you very much for that info. It's always good to know how things work.
