Hi,

Fix your problem install an dns server in your intranet. I sugesst install
dhcp server too and configure   to propagate the names in your local area
network.

The other guy sugest you use the host file. But setting up this not resolve
the problem because the others machines in your network  not recognize your
machine by name. This only work for your machine.

Good luck,

LM
