Two computers wuth the same name

I have two computers with the same name but in different workgroups. When I installed the first ine it appear in the console without any problems but, when I installed the second one, the first one disappear from the console and now i can't find it.

I thought the console identified computers by their IP address. Am I wrong? Will I have to change the name of one of the computers?

Thank you.

The console displays computers by name. We've supplied switches for setup to accomodate the possibility of two managed computers in the console with the same hostname. The -compname switch is what you'd want to use. The full list of switches can be found at http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/12570.html You'd need to rerun the setup.exe with the appropriate switches to force a client to show in the console with a different hostname.
