Maybe this will help as you trouble shoot this and give some insight into your problem.
NetBIOS name resolution occurs as follows on NT and win 98 and lower Devices
1. The client computer checks it's NetBIOS name cache
2. if a WINS (NetBIOS name server)server is available, the computer makes three attempts to contact it.
3. If a WINS server is unavailable, the computer makes three broadcasts on it's subnet for the name
4. If broadcasting fails then the client consults its local LMHOSTS file if it is available
5. If the NetBIOS name is not resolved through LMHOSTS, the client checks it's HOSTS file
6. Finally, the client computer tries to find a DNS server.
7. If the above steps fail, you get the computer not found message.
Today you can change the name resolution configuratio n to start at differnt nodes wheather it be the Broadcast, Peer, Mixed, or Hybrid node. This is done to prevent broadcast storms across large networks.
My question is and I truly dont know is does PocketPC differ and if so how?
