Just bought my first Mac in about 15 years and I have a networking question.
I've installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop client and can connect to PC's on my network via IP. I cannot connect by machine name. I also notice I can't ping by machine name in the network utility or the terminal. What's strange is, in the Sidebar in the Finder all my pc's show up by name, and I can browse their shares with no problem.
So what do I need to do to be able to ping and connect to PC's via machine name instead of IP?
