Thanks for the translation :)

All I know is when the computers are turned on they're accessible by name  
using the previously mentioned smb://<nameofpc>/sharedfolder/ command ...  
except one.  As to whether they're registering the name with some kind of  
DNS server I don't know ... don't know the specific command(s) to diagnose  
... nor know the route to take based on the diagnosis. I do not have  
static IP address assignments to any of the boxes, they're all DHCP'd.  I  
believe another box was swapped out and replaced by the box which is now  
giving me this issue.
