Net Use, Net View seem to show all shares as long as I use the IP address.
If I use the computer name, I get an error

I can map a drive to the other computer if I use the IP address rather than
the computer name. Sounds like name resolution is not working

Correct. This is name resolution issue. Have you enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP?
Or posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.
