I am using a workgroup structure on the network as opposed to a domain setup if that makes a difference. How can I tell if the router can resolve the IP into a FQN? There is an entry in the hosts file for the win2k system. I can ping it from the firewall by either IP or name. If you have any other things I can investigate I will be glad to report back.
