RDP Question - Router Issues with Computer Name
Hello Everyone,
I am trying Remote Desktop from my laptop to my Windows 7 desktop. Currently I have it working by connecting to it's IPv4 address. However, I want to be able to RDP connect to it via its actual computer name.
Currently my settings under ipconfig are the following:
As you can see above, I am connecting to the "192.168.2.3" in RDP, and it works great. But when I do a ping for my desktop under it's computer name, it is a different IP address.Code:Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Belkin Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::79c5:1e97:c9b:fdf%11 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.3 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1
So I believe I need to change some settings in my router, I just don't know what. If anyone could offer any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
