I have been having a networking problem on my WinXP Home edition
laptop. I am not able to connect to shared folders and printers on my
local network by the computer name.
i.e. if I use the following command:
Start->My Computer and put in
\\LocalNetworkComputerName\SharedFolderName\
the response is:
Windows cannot find \\LocalNetworkComputerName\
If I do the same and enter:
\\192.168.x.xx\SharedFolderName
where 192.168.x.xx is the ip address of the target computer it works.
Please advise if anyone knows a workaround to this problem
