ES File Explorer cannot find LAN server by name

A

AC Question

I have 3 computers on my network. One computer can be added to the ES File Explorer LAN section by using the computer name or IP. The other two can only be added by IP. If I try to add them by name it gives the error "cannot find the server". How can I set the other two computers so I can also add them by name?

Welcome to Android Central!

Are the other two computers running Windows 8?
