Vista can't connect by name, but can access by IP
Hi,

I've recently run into the problem of not being able to connect to computers
on the local network by their names, or by the listings in the network
browser. I've recently patched up to SP1, but could still access the network
as per usual, up until a couple days ago. I have not installed any other
software or changed any settings. It just woudn't map drives, or allow me to
browse/connect by name. Furthermore, other computers cannot access my shares
either by name (which errors out with system error 123) or IP (which errors
out with system error 5).

I have netbios over TCP/IP enabled, and have my local shares shared with
"Everyone", have accounts with matching passwords for each machine on the
network, etc. Like I said, the vista machine was fine and working flawlessly
with the network until recently.

Re: Vista can't connect by name, but can access by IP
We have two issues in this case.

1. System error 123 is Node type issue. you can refer to this link.

type is setup Peer-Peer ... A2: The node-type is causing you not to be able
to resolve names. ...

2. System error 5 is permission or firewall issue.
