Access Windows from Mac via Remote Dekstop Connection using hostname
- by stevekuo
I'm using Snow Leopard with Remote Desktop Connection attempting to access a Windows XP machine on a home network. If I specify the Windows PC's hostname it won't connect. Only by specifying the IP address does it connect. It's the same issue when trying to ping the Windows machine - IP address works, hostname doesn't.
Both machines are on the same subnet connecting with a wireless router.
Is there way to get OSX to resolve the Windows PC by its hostname?
