Hi

My network is composed of three routers each having their network in the
region of 192.168.0.x. Two of the routers are wireless and everything talks
with the use of a switch. One router is connected with an ADSL connection
(PPTP) and provides Internet to everything.

I have a problem going through a share using the UNC (\\tutorpc\) across
different routers, but works fine if I use the IP address
(\\192.168.0.2\)...

Can you suggest anything please? Thanks

Its not the slickest way, but you can alway add a pc name/ip set in the
hosts file. Search, its someplace in windows/?/? no extension just
hosts. There should be one already in there and you edit it with notepad.
I did that once for another issue I had. I fixed the issue later
somehow but this gave me an immediate relief.
