Win 7 Can't be Connected with Host Name

[Kaspar]

Greetings!

I have a following issue while connecting iPad 2 with the computer (win 7 home premium)...
If I use IP address the iPad connects fine, but if I use the computer (host) name, it doesn't - written like hostname.local

Using host name works on my winxp pro machine, so it must be something different with windows 7?

Using the IP address on the other hand is a bit inconvenient. So much so, that I've quite often neglected to use Lemur and done "controlling" with a mouse instead.

Thanks for any help!

Has anybody connected iPad and Win7 with host name successfully?
