I have a small number of laptops and desktops on a network.
The desktop has XP Pro and the laptop has XP Home.
The Laptop computer name is MyLaptop and the laptop drive name is LaptopC. The
laptop c drive is shared. The linksys router assigns the laptop the address
192.168.1.50.
I can view the files on the laptop by entering \\192.168.1.50\LaptopC . However
I can't view the files using \\MyLaptop\LaptopC which means XP pro is not
mapping the computer names on the network to the router assigned IP addresses.
The router sometimes assigns different IP's to the computers on the network when
they power up.
How can I get XP Pro to automatically map and recognize the computer names on
the network to their IP addresses?
