I can connect to other computers on my home network (ubuntu + OSX machines) using the IP address, but I can't connect using the netbios name.
On the mac the name appears in Finder but if I try to connect (go>connect to server> smb://[email protected]) it doesn't work, while smb://[email protected] does. Same with ssh, ping and afp between the macs.
This is a intermittent problem. It has worked in the past.
