Network Addresses

Can anyone tell me why, if I type in \\192.168.1.1 (remote vpn) in an
address bar I can't find the computer but If I then add the computername in
a LMhosts file I can then type in \\computername and bring up a window? I
can access computers on the local network this way.

When I click the diagnose button I get the result shown in the jpg.

Just curious

I forgot to add that even after adding the ipaddress in the LMHosts file I
still can't find a computer by typing in the IP address
And it looks like the jpg didn't make it through!
But it said basically my firewall was configured correctly and anyway even
if I turn the firewall off I have the same result.

So what happens if you open a cmd window and type:
net view \\192.168.1.1
rather than using the address bar?

--PA

Says "The Network path was not found" - although I'm backing up files there
as I speak! - err Type!
