Windows 10: Hostname and IP address on Windows 11 network

HI,Could anyone explain to me why I cannot access my storage Western Digital NAS MyCloudHome via the hostname while it is fully possible via the IP address 192.168.0.39. The connection is always ending with an error 0x80070035. .I tried all the possible tests and parameters and I always get a failure.See attached screen shot.ThksYB

Network Tools 2

Suggestions !!!

Can we get the intranet scan to do the following:
1) List IP Address in numerical order
2) List IP Addresses that are not in use, perhaps denoted by a hostname of "--------"
3) Enter a hostname of "Unknown" for IP Addresses that are found but not Windows devices.

You didn't think you were done with NetTool yet, did you? *Stick Out Tongue


Edit: I also forgot to mention that if you select a specific address (say 10.10.10.1) and it find a machine, it outputs the information. If you then select another address (say 10.10.10.2) which is not in use, the original info from the first address does not get cleared from the output pane.

 

Cant find Computers on Network by Hostname but can via IP

Microsoft made changes to networking while remove Homegroup from Windows 1803 and that caused some network problems.

One of those problems is that Windows has problems to resolve connection between IP-address and hostname in peer-to-peer networks.

I have solved this "Cant' access \\Computer" issue using hosts file. See step 6 on my example of network settings. This work in my home network shares.

Problems with network converting hostname to ip address

We are talking about two different network cards and drivers. They both have the same problem. After a reboot the browsers work fine. The next day firefox and chrome are very slow to open a web page. Edge will open the same web page very fast. When firefox starts to open the web page it displays looking up hostname. Isn't the same code that converts the hosname to and ip address used by all browsers? If so why is edge fast and firefox and chrome are slow?
It is difficult to do a clean boot and see if a startup service is causing the problem when it could take overnight for the problem to show up.
