Setting Up Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2 (MBSA 2)

[Guest J and N]

We downloaded MBSA 2 and are having trouble setting it up: it does not

accept our computer name, and we don't know its IP Address. Any suggestions?

 

The computer has Windows XP SP2, Internet Explorer 7, and a variety of other

software including McAfee Total Protection 2008 and Microsoft Office 2003.

We have MBSA 2.0.1.Setting Up Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2 (MBSA 2)

 

 

Can anyone help us? This is becoming rather annoying!
