I have three computers on my local network behind a router all IP addresses
within the range 192.168.0.100 - 105. I can connect to all using remote
desktop by using the computer name. All are running XP Pro SP1.
I just added another computer, XP Pro SP2, and have tried doing remote
desktop. It works if I use the IP address but if I use the computer name I
get the error msg:
"The specified remote computer could not be found. Verify that you have
typed the correct computer name or IP address, and then try connecting
again."
I know the computer name is correct. All other computers can still be
accessed via their name. Under Control Panel I have ticked off using remote
desktop (obviously as it connects with the IP addess).
Is there any way around this?
