Small SOHO LAN
- Windows XP Home
- Windows 2000 (laptop, often travelling)
- Windows 98
- DLink router/DHCP server/NAT to cable modem
- Dlink assigned dynamic IP's to the LAN machines
- LinkSys WAP (wireless access point)
Can I set up DNS service so the machines see each other by name in Windows Explorer, using "//machine_name", and with VNC. The DLink cannot act as a dynamic DNS server.
I am astonished how little information I could google on setting up a basic network on which naming works. Currently I have NetBEUI turned on, so I get some names working (only partial, VNC does not see names, and the WAP will apparently not propagate NetBEUI so I can't see wireless nodes by name.
HELP !! (and thanks in advance)
