SMB Name Resolution only appears to work on Initial creation of Storage Location.
SMB appears to cache the IP address for the host name and does not attempt to resolve (even via NETBIOS) when moving to a different network. I work from two separate locations, and have to delete/recreate my SMB storage location when I move from one to the other. Once created, it works fine, but the host name stays the same (my laptop, which travels with me) as I move from one location to the other.

A workaround may be to create a distinct Storage Location for the same "host" on each network. I've successfully created a new Storage Location that works, without having to delete the previous Storage Location that had been created for the same host on a different network. I don't believe this is the ideal solution; the host is the same, only its physical location changes.
