I regularly connect my Mac to my Windows computer using Finder. However, I can't connect to the Windows computers using Terminal, Chicken of the VNC, or Remote Desktop Client - the hostname won't resolve. It works fine if I use the IP address. Problem is, I use DHCP at home and don't want to use static IP.

Doesn't anyone know how to get name resolution working? Why does it work in Finder but nowhere else?

I'm running OS X 10.3.6 using a Linksys WRT54G and trying to ping, VNC, or RDP to an XP host.

TIA.
