Ok... I take it back.
When I run the server on my Mac... I am able to browse it on my windows machine using the Macs netbios name set up in the configuration file.
However, I am not able to do the reverse. The mac will not resolve to the correct ip address of my windows machines. (Although from everything I have read it is supposed to.) Even more strange because I am able to connect to the PC from the Mac in finder using the NetBios name... but when I use RDP I have to put in the IP.
Whats really weird is if I run ping on my Mac to try and ping my windows machine I get a 8.17 or a 63.251 ip address. This is very strange considering I am using an 192.168 network at home.
So, the next step is to see how the Touch can connect. My son was being paranoid and was afraid I was going to "break" his iPod if he didn't stand over me and watch what I was doing... and his mother wanted him in bed so I gave the thing back to him.
Since the touch runs OSx I excpect I will need to use the IP to connect to the Windows PC but the Netbios name to connect to the Mac.
