Why can't I access my samba share via mDNS (bonjour)

Question

I bought a cute little NAS box (MyBookWorld) that runs a samba server. It's also got a mDNS server on it, and I've got bonjour installed on my windows box, so i can say ping orm.local and it looks up the IP address just fine. I can open up \\192.168.1.6\ in explorer and that works just fine, but if I try to go to \\orm.local\ I get "the network path was not found".

Answer 1

try to do some work from command promt:

1. ping by IP and host name
2. ns lookup by host name
3. check DNS settings on the box, computer and router
4. from the computer: command promt: msconfig /flushdns
