Can only connect to network share using IPaddress
HI there.
New to the group so Hi everyone and I hope you can shed some light on this....
I have 2 new PC's set up and running, connected to a NAS via a Switch. Internet is available via a router.
I need to be able to access folders on and from both machines. I have shared C: on both, given permissions on both (everyone = Full control)
I can see the relevant machines in the network section of Windows Explorer (master & backoffice). Sometimes I can see C: on the other machine but I can not connect to it. If I Double click I get "path not found" error ( 80070035 I think )..... \\master\c
If I type in using the IPaddress it connects and works fine.... \\192.168.1.69\c
It seems that once I've used the IPaddress method, it can sometimes use the name method ( But this is hit and miss )
What have I missed....?? it's driving me nuts.
