I have 3 computers on my home network. One of them, lets call it computer A, can not access a share on the other "server" computer via the server's name but CAN access the shares by the server's IP address. Also, the server can not access a share on computer A by its name but CAN buy its IP address. From the 3rd computer, computer B, I can access shares on the server by name but not on computer A via the computer name.
All computers running XP. There was a McAfee AntiVirus/Firewall software package installed on computer A but I have since uninstalled it and still does not work. I have already spent 5 hours on this reinsatlling network drivers, ensuring NetBIOS Auto detect is on in the TCP/IP properties, doing some registry hacks via google searches (I have since reverted all registry hacks). Everything seems to be at default level but computer A can not resolve to/from NetBIOS names.
Any ideas on how to get Computer A to resolve NetBIOS names?
