    Hi,

    How did you communicate with the server? Can you describe what you did and provide the error message it prompt?

    Have you enabled NetBios? Do you mean you can only communicate with DNS server or WINS server using IP address but not host name? If so, what is the error it pop up?

    Make sure IP configuration correct on client and server. Then type nslookup Server<server ip><name you are querying for>, see what will return.

    Here is a flowchart, which can help you trouble shoot the issue:

    I had a similar problem. A storm came through and knocked out our internet for a few days. When it came back on Windows would no longer connect to my Seagate NAS and gave me the message in the OP. It took me a while to find the root of the problem, but I was able to resolve it by changing my network profile from Public to Private--somehow when my internet reset it changed my network profile to "Public". Once set back to "Private", Windows was able to communicate with my Seagate NAS and find the host name without issue. To do this:

    Right-click the internet access icon and select Open Network and Internet Settings

    Select Change Connection Properties

    Under Network Profile, select "Private". If your network is set to "Public" your computer will not communicate with other networks.
