Hostname of VPN network computer

[mcmoon88]

I apologize for re-posting this. I originally put it in the wrong section.

I have two computers with which I use OpenVPN to access a remote computer at my office. In one case (my laptop), I can access the work computer by its hostname and it shows up in the network listing in windows explorer. In the other case (my desktop), I must access the work computer by IP address and it doesn't show up in the network listing in windows explorer.

All 3 computers run Windows 7. The two computers that I am running from my home use the same client.ovpn file.

One difference that I can see is that the 2 home computers are pointing at different DHCP servers. I was going to change the desktop to match the laptop but I couldn't figure out how.

Any ideas on why the desktop computer isn't recognizing the work computer by its hostname?

We cannot help much without details of your setup. Although, it does sound like you need to speak with your network administrator.
