<br>
You need to add an entry in your hosts file<br>
(c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) to override Windows' lookup on<br>
the local network and point it to your pvr box.<br>
<br>
Chances are, if you enter "ping pvr" at a command-line you'll get<br>
something like "Ping request could not find host pvr. Please check the<br>
name and try again."<br>

When I pinged pvr, I noticed it said it was pinging a machine named pvr on my school's domain. Unfortunately for me there is actually a machine at my school with the same name as my backend. A few years ago, I was messing around setting up a VPN connection to my school when I first setup this machine. Apparently during that process I had made it so the primary DNS suffix on this computer was my school's domain. I removed that default DNS suffix and now pvr is resolving correctly to my backend's ip address. Thanks again for setting me on the right path.<br>
