causes, confirmation methods, and actions are as follows.
When the machine is not found from client computers
Cause Confirmation Method Action
The transport protocol is
different between the client
and the machine.
When selecting [Searching
as another computer] ([Start]
> [Find] > [Computer]) on the
client, the machine can be
found. When opening the
network computer to search
for the machine, it cannot be
found.
Match the SMB transport

invalid.
When selecting [Searching
as another computer] ([Start]
> [Find] > [Computer]) on the
client, the machine can be

Set up the machine and client
computers in the same
networks.
The host name specified for
the machine is already
defined for a different
machine.
Check if the host name is
duplicated in the SMB status
information of the System
Settings List.
Use CentreWare Internet

Check if Windows Vista
displays the machine in a list
of networked computers.
Edit the file “hosts” saved in

\etc” to associate the
computer name with the IPv6
address, and then type
“\\computer name” in the
Address bar on Explorer.
