1269062 2012-04-10 01:04:00 Hi all,
I've got an issue with my home network. I can only access PC's on my network using IP addresses rather than their host names.
They are all running Windows 7 and my Netgear router is setup as the DHCP server.
Any ideas?

Cheers.

1269063 2012-04-10 02:38:00 Can you ping the other pc's host names? Alex B (15479)
1269064 2012-04-10 02:55:00 Yep. Had an issue accessing one of the PC's via RDP (setup with host name) so I pinged the host name of the PC and I used the IP address to successfully connect via RDP. GR8Metal (14133)
