Hi All,

Helping my dad out... Scenario. his business has 3 computers / networked...
For sample purposes, by Name/IP is

Machine1 = 192.168.0.101
Machine2 = 192.168.0.102
Machine3 = 192.168.0.103

Machine 1 has a print shared on it...
Machine 2 can connect via the print share of \\Machine1\Printer1

However, Machine3 can't get resolution to the IP for Machine1.

I go to the command prompt on Machine 2 and do a ping to both the IP and the Machine, and get a response.

I go to the command prompt on Machine 3 and do a ping to both, but only get a response by the hard IP address...


Help...

Thanks
