Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I haven't enabled WINS on the Windows server and I am uncertain as to whether this is created by default.
What I did do on the XP machine was at the command line, type:
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
This reset all my network settings and these needed to be reconfigured. However, it did mean that I could now connect to the computers using their computer name?
Cheers,
Gary
