Is there a way to find out which workstation a user is logged onto over a network.
 
What type of network operating software are you using.....novel...active directory?
Is the user connecting into a file server?

Sorry, we are using AD and the user is connecting to a file server. I can see a list of users connected and the IP address they are using in Computer Management > Sessions. However i then need a way of linking the IP address to the workstation name. I can see a list of the IP releases in DHCP but i need an easier way to report this.
 
Some solutions:

Alternatively:
If you want a quick fix.
at a command prompt type:
tracert IP ADDRESS
This will give you the PC name.
You can creats a batch file which queries all address in a range and lets you know what PC name has what IP address.
or else
nbtstat -a IPADDRESS
