What os is the other machine? that would help to know. if it is a windows
machine you will need to edit the file lmhosts in the folder c:\windows just
open that file in note pad and enter in the info (it is alot like /etc/hosts
file on linux) that will let you use the machines name instead of the ip address
to connect to it. unless you want to use a dns server on your network and since
its only 2 machines I see no need to. Just edit the lmhosts file.
