Computer Name instead of IP not working

[boppersnr]

works perfect using IP but does not work when I enter the computer name instead. What am I doing wrong as it seems staightforward enough to enter in the name instead of IP . Like HOME-PC instead of 192.168.1.9

The android device just continues to try to find it without success.

tips please.....as it is much easier to recognise by name than IP when you have multiple devices enabled.

I have no clue why this isn't working for some people. Using the name instead of the ip is using DNS which is a standard for decades. If you can open for example google.com in your webbrowser it should work in MCC also. The only reason I can imagine is that your router doesn't store the DNS/NetBIOS entrie for your windows computer. What happens if you download Ping or Pinger in the market and send a ping to the computers name?

You are right. it must be an issue with my router. I can't ping by name any device on my home network. So it's not an issue with your app. Which is excellent by the way. Now I will look around on how to fix my router to recognise hostnames.
