Can Only Access Server By IP Address Only . Not by Name
Hi, We had to replace a router for a corporate customer , and after that the Client Systems with XP Professional SP3 can only access the server by IP Address only. BUT a couple of newer systems windows 7 can access the server dy name. We dont have it setup as a Domain ; just as a file server for a specific Dental Program to share through out the office. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Hello, if the information already give didn't help please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the problem machine and the server. How is DNS configured in your network?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
