If I set up Windows XP computers for remote desktop, go to the remote
computer, used ipconfig to find the IP address, then use remote desktop and
the IP, I can use remote desktop to reach the remote computer.

If I try the computer name then the remote desktop will not find the
computer.

How do I set up Windows Server 2008 so I can use the remote desktop with a
computer name.?
