I am using setting up a new network using Server 2003 R2 (workgroup not
Domain yet) on a Asus P5K3 delux motherboard which has wireless router built
in. It accesses the internet with a DSL connection and the wireless network
is working fine using Internet Connection sharing. On a lenovo 3000 N100 I am
running Vista Ultimate. The notebook connects to the internet just fine over
the wireless connection and I have made the connection private. I can see
the shares on the notebook from the 2003 box just fine, but I can???t see the
shares on the 2003 box on the notebook. I can ping the server by either IP
address or computer name from the notebook. I can connect to the shares, on
the server, using the IP address but not the computer name. If I try using
the computer name I get some funcky message about not being able to resolve
the DNS entry. I can create an entry in the HOSTS file on the notebook and
then connect via computer name and finally see the server I???Network??? . Why
can I ping but not see the computer in ???Network??? and connect to the shares
via computer name with out the HOSTS file modification?

We need more information help. Any errors when using nslookup? Can you post
back with ping -a server ip and ping the servername?
