| Hi,
| I have a XP Pro - 2000 Pro peer to peer network, I have drive mappings,
| shared folders etc....
| I'm having an issue with my remote site when I login and the issue is
that I
| created a "file server"
| with an XP box, but I can't see it by it's name so I'm assumming it's a
DNS
| issue. I've asigned a static
| IP address and I can ping it from the remote site (which by the way I
login
| with a Linksys VPN solution
| and that router is also host my DHCP). I can ping it and even connect to
it
| through a drive mapping as
| long as I use the IP address. I can see the names of the other computers
and
| when I ping I can ping
| the other computers by there name but I receive a Unknown host when I
ping
| the server by it's name.
| So I was wonder is there something I need to do in the DNS settings to be
| able to see the server.
| Also, can it effect a program if you do a drive mapping via the IP
address
| instead of the host name?
|
| Thanks for your time,
| Craig
