I have been using network shares on my home network for a while but as of yesterday I have no longer been able to access them via their name (IP still works fine). This would not be a problem but things like Win8 File Hisotry uses the NAME of the device (e.g., my NAS) and not the IP for making backups.
[ipconfig removed]
Some examples of what happens when trying to connect to my Network Attached Storage (named here as NAS)
and another from my Mediacenter:
The "net view" command on its own throws the same error.
This problem does not occur on the Mediacenter or any other computer on the network (all Win7 machines). Here is what the Mediacenter sees for the same share:
I can RDP into the mediacenter via IP but not its name (MEDIACENTER-PC)
Thoughts/Ideas?
