Vista Networking Issue
From Amahi Wiki
Some times, Vista and Windows 7 don't operate well with short URLs.
Here's a fix that worked for me (Vista/Windows 7 specific)
For Windows Vista In Control Panel/network connections
- Right click your ethernet card (or similar) and select properties
- Select Internet Protocol Version 4 and press the properties button
- Click the "Advanced" button
- Select the DNS tab
- Press the "Append these DNS suffixes (in order)" button
- Add your home server's domain name (eg. home.com)
- Press the required OKs, apply, close ...
All should work correctly now
For Windows 7
- In Control Panel select Network And Sharing Center
- In the left margin, select 'Change adapter settings
- Right click your ethernet card (or similar) and select properties
- Select Internet Protocol Version 4 and press the properties button
- Click the Advanced button
- Select the DNS tab
- Press the Append these DNS suffixes (in order) button
- Add your home server's domain name (eg. home.com)
- Press the required OKs, apply, close ...
