Launch TightVNC using the Computer Name - or - How to Get IP from Computer Name in MS-DOS cmd.exe batch file

First, knowing the name of a computer, we want to get its IP. The script 'GetIpFromName' does that..

Second, we need to call `StartVncViewer MyServerName` to start VncViewer..

See scripts below:

	@setlocal
	@ping -n 1 %~2 | find "Pinging" > %TEMP%\ADDR_IPv4.txt
	@for /F "tokens=2 delims=[]" %%a in (%TEMP%\ADDR_IPv4.txt) do @set ip=%%a
	@endlocal & set "%~1=%ip%"
