I have two machines that run Windows 7 in the same network and same work group.
I turned off the firewall in both machine and I also mapped the IP address with computer name in a host file.

But I am not able to connect to the other machine from my system by computer name.
However, I am able to connect with IP address.

But from the other machine I am able to connect my machine by name and by IP address both.
So that means some thing is blocking in the other machine. How do I solve this?

    What does "i of firewall" mean? Either way, sounds like a DNS issue.

  • Both Win 7? What firewalls are you using? And can't connect with what? Ping, RDP? hyperterminal?

  • What IP version you're using? What DNS server?

Try runing ipconfig /flushdns in computer from which you are unable to connect the other computer by name.
