I have an inhouse LAN with three computers.
one of the computers has the name "comp7" with (fixed) IP 192.168.0.40.
When I map now the remote shared partition D with name D$ to my local drive K:
with either the command
net use K: \\192.168.0.40\D$
it works and with the command
net use K: \\comp7\D$
it doesn't work.
Why ?
This sounds like your name resolution isn't working. either WINS DNS or
hosts file. Do you have a DNS server, are you using netbios?
Not putting it e.g. into the "hosts" file cannot be the reason because
other shared folders on other computer (which are not in the "hosts" file)
can be accessed WITH the hostname succesfully.
Do you have netbios installed on all your PC's?
I could imagine that this is a firewall problem.
Which ports are used to perform hostname resolving in the LAN ?
I know DNS is port 53, not sure about wins, I think netbios is 139 or 135
Moreover curious is that I cannot perform a
net view \\192.168.0.40
It yields a
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
However access must be available because sharing is possible through
fixed IP.
