[Tfug] Accessing shared folder

[Brad Becker]

I'm using Kubuntu and have a home network, 1 linux box, 3 windoze.

 From the linux box, in the location bar of Konqueror, when typing:

smb:/ - displays the 'workgroup' icon

smb://workgroup/ - displays all computers on the network

smb://nameofpc1/ - displays the shared folders

smb://nameofpc2/ - displays the shared folders

So far so good.  However,

smb://nameofpc3/ - displays a "Timeout on Server" error message.

If 'nameofpc3' is replaced with the actual IP address then no problem,
I can see/access the shared folders.

So it appears samba isn't associating this particular pc's name with the  
proper IP?
Solution?
