Can't browse samba share by ip but can by hostname
I have a 11.04 ubuntu samba share that is serving files to my network (though I don't really think this is relevant). I have 2 win7 64bit machines (1 laptop/1desktop) that can access these files fine, however I have 1 win7 32bit that is unable to access the files. (I even think it may have been able to before.)
When I browse the network and go to SERVER it says:
"Windows cannot access \\SERVER.... the network path was not found"
HOWEVER when I navigate to \\192.168.1.151\ with explorer it works fine.
What I have tried:
* I have removed all wireless networks and reauthenticated.
* I have set all network configs to the most open possible: network browsing: ON, sharing: ON, homegroup: Off and password authenticate.
* Disabled Norton Internet Security firewall (also on the other two computers)
Again this server is perfectly accessible from all other computers (even a third laptop come to think of it), so it must be something stupid with this one laptop. This problem is driving me up the wall. Anyone have any ideas of what I can try?
