Remote Desktop trouble..again

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

No, the router isn't involved in that. That includes your router.

Mine current one does (as did my old router), and I suspect many others
do as well. See http://www.dd-
wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DNSMasq_as_DHCP_server, and a quick search with
Google on the phrase "router name resolution" returns many similar
hits.

I stand corrected, but the OP didn't mention dd-wrt or Apple's
'bonjour' service, to name two router-based solutions. The much more
common scenario will be one or more of LLMNR, SMB, or NetBT, all of
which are host-based rather than router-based.

BTW, here's your link, unwrapped for convenience:
