For computers in the Holton Design Shop:

Go to any computer where Solidworks loads successfully and hit the "Window" key Windows button.png on the lower left of the keyboard.

In the "Search" field type "Command Prompt"

A window should display a link to that application. Start it.

At the command prompt, type "ping SALAD-WORKER" and hit the "Enter" key.

The display should look something like this:

The number is the IP address of the server. Copy it down.
