One of the desktops in our home network has the assigned address 192.168.1.4 and has a name of Cassie-PC, which responds via ping, but I need to setup parental controls on it (it's me niece's) and it does not show up in the network map through the router. I have physically checked the address assigned to the system, and it is clearly set to the .4 address, but it does not show up as an attached device in the router. Why is this, and what can I do to resolve it? For what's it worth I have checked and the cable is plugged directly to the router, prior it was plugged into a dumb switch. The desktop in question is able to access everything on the LAN as well as the internet.
