Hostname doesn't Answer

Hey all.

Sometimes I have to access a remote machine, but it doesn't answer to
its hostname. Then I try using the IP and it works fine.
When I reboot the machine, it works normally again, hostname and all.

When im remote on that machine I can ping any hostname/ip and it
answers fine too.

Anyone know the exact problem here ? Maybe its the domain ?
DNS,WINS,NetBIOS ? Some other people need to access this server too and
I need to solve the problem, so any help is welcome.
The server OS is Windows 2000 Server.

Thanks.
