    Maping a drive not working with ip-address only with servername

    Hi,

    i am connectet with VPN to a Windows 2003 Server (my computer is not in the
    domain)

    All workes fine but i cannot access the shares on the server like this:

    \\10.0.1.1\share (share not working ping is ok)

    \\servername\share (share not working ping for the sever name is not working
    but i can resolve this with dns-suffix or hosts table)

    \\servername.net.domain.com\share (works fine)



    I need this connect with ip-adress because some applications with click-once
    deployment are configured with ip-adresses.

    The same computer with XP booting, all is working fine for years

    Any ideas

    Bernd,

    Are you sure that 10.0.1.1 is the right address? What protocols does the server
    run?

    How is name resolution setup in this domain?

    Check NetBT for consistent settings, and all personal firewalls and other
    security components.
