I installed an adsl router BESFX41 (Broadband Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN).

I connected two PCs and the connectivity is ok (Ping by IP is ok, access the internet).

The first problem is that hostname are not resolved to the IP.
e.g
ping laptop produces the output (Unknown host laptop)
ping 192.168.1.101 is ok

The second problem is that you can not find the PCs in the "My network Places".

To solve the problems I put static IPs for the 2 computers and entered the hostnames
in the hosts file.

The solution is not acceptable since I want DHCP on my network.
