Connecting to shares via IP address

HELP!

I have two XP clients which cannot connect to any network
shares using straight IP Address. GET THIS -- I CAN
connect using the UNC or the server name. (So I know that
IP does get resolved.)

For example: My server IP is at 10.10.0.5 and the name
is BEAR. This is my Domain Controller.

If I open RUN and type the following:
"RUN \\10.10.0.5" i get "The network path was not found."

If I type the following:
"RUN \\bear" it gives me a list of all the shares that
exist on Bear.

I can ping 10.10.0.5 and ping bear and it resolves every
time.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

On your Client computers try putting 10.10.0.5 in for one
of your DNS addresses.
