Network Drives

Hi

I am having this problem with Vista Business.
My network drives were always mapped as \\SERVERNAME\foldername

Some days ago my network drive stopped working.
I remapped them using the server IP address, for instance \
\192.168.101.101\foldername
and they all work fine this way.

If I try to map the same folder using SERVERNAME instead of the IP
address, no way.

Other computers in my network running Vista do not have the same
problem: they can map a new network drive using SERVERNAME.


Thanks for help.

Does adding the computer names and IP addressed to the Hosts file help?
