When I perform site wide operations such as entire site searches or editing templates, the computer that has Dreamweaver installed (No1) can no longer access the server machine (No2) that hosts the websites, which is on the same LAN.
The No1 computer does not see the No2 server at all (Windows explorer, network shares, nothing) when this happens. It's as if No2 no longer exists on the LAN when performing such tasks. However, No2 can see and access No1 and No1 can see the other computers on the LAN. No1 cannot even access No2 when using its IP address either.
I have to disable/enable the network adapter on No1 in order for the No1 machine to see the No2 server again. In my router, I have DNATs set up for public access to the websites and static DNS entries for local access.
Example of static DNS:
Dreamweaver settings:
Nothing in the Firewall logs. Simply flushing the DNS on No1 does not help. I have to disable/enable the network adapter or restart No1. Computer No1 is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it has something to do with routing since Dreamweaver uses both the public URL and the local path to access the files on the server.
