[PLUG] How to indentify a computer on the network

[Josh Orchard]

now you all got me excited about solving the issue.  I'm powering up the

The problem started with it being misconfigured.  It is requesting an ntp
server that doesn't exist and others are asking me to stop it.  :-)  But
no one knows where it is actually sitting. So I'm looking.
