Hostname problem Windows 7
Win7 cannot access XP, NAS, or network printer by hostname. Win7 CAN access by IP address. Win7 hostname used to work, then months ago suddenly stopped working. XP can see Win7, NAS, and printer, so the problem is limited to Win7 hostname resolution. Changed router; problem still there. Win7 CAN access wireless Epson printer. Win7 problem with wifi and hardwire.
Tried disabling firewall/antivirus, flushDNS.bat, changing workgroup name. NetBios is on, windows network client is on, homegroups off, password sharing off, discovery on, file/printer sharing on.
If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
