Our mainframe has a static IP address. Periodically, it will just drop off of network neighborhood. It can be pinged and accessed using its IP address, but not its name. I can even MAP a drive to folder in it, but not to its main name.
Suppose the computer's name is Dave and it has a fold in it called Sam. I can map a drive to \\Dave\Sam, BUT NOT just to \\DAVE. I've went into WINS and added it to Static Mappings, but this doesnt seem to help. We have two WINS servers.
Any ideas what could be causing this.
