Does this not make a >difference? Ok, here's the fix that worked for me. Specify in your hosts file the name of your machine and its network name, then the name of each machine on the network and its network name. Do this for anything that normal DNS, either internal or external, that won't resolve through normal DNS lookups. AKA: Machines with no DNS info, or machines on an internal network. Here's a good example of what I'm referring to: 192.168.0.65 myserver.mydomain.com myserver 192.168.0.172 workstation1.mydomain.com workstation1 There's fairly decent examples on how to do this in your hosts file already.
