When trying to connect to a shared folder on a windows 7 or xp computer from a MFP (copier/scanner/printer) why would I be able to connect to it using the hosts IP address but not computer name?
I see some computers I can use the computer name and some will only work with the IP address and I don't know why.
Your copier/scanner/printer should have a field where you can indicate what the DNS/WINS servers are in your network. In most cases, that's enough to address the issue. If you already did that, then such DNS/WINS servers are not correctly mapping IPs to Hostnames.
