Mixed networkI have a home network consisting of windows xp pro machines and mac os
10.4 machines. Each machine has a fixed ip address with the same subnet mask. When I try to access a web page using a browser on the windows machine and the page hosted on a mac machine, I can use either the mac's computer name of the ip address. When I try to access a page hosted on the windows machine using the mac as the client (browser on the mac), I must use the ip address and the windows computer name will not get me to the windows web server (IIS 5). What am I missing? Thanks, Ed Bender Your mac does not have a way to resolve the name to an ip address.
I'm not a mac guy, but you ca probably find something on the internet by searching for things like DNS lmhost hope this help RT "Edward Bender" <ebender***@charter.net> wrote in message news:2005061321220716807%ebender001@charternet...Show quoteHide quote >I have a home network consisting of windows xp pro machines and mac os 10.4 >machines.
