Hi, All the computers can not ping by computer name... I've spent a while trying every possible link aka ip and name, from each different computer, and to each different computer

Comp 1: cannot be pinged from other computers by name... IP works
Comp 2: cannot be pinged from other computers by IP or NAME... nothing works
Comp 3: cannot be pinged from other computers by name... IP works
Comp 4: CAN be pinged from other computers by IP and Name... all works... Note, this is the main computer (Desktop), to which the printer is connected to.
Comp 5: Cannot be pinged from other computers by name... IP works
Comp 6: Cannot be pinged from other computers by name... IP works... (can be pinged from Comp 5 by name and IP)

So most cant be pinged by name, generally IP works.. If it came up as anything less than 100% received in ping statistics, then i tried again until it gave 100%... unless it continued to have 0%...

With all of this in mind, how can i make the pinging by name, successful from all computers...

and if it only needs to be successful to ping by name and ip address from the desktop, how can i get the computers to recognise the printer on a remote computer...?
