Do both OS using the same computer name? It could be the DNS issue.

Hi Robert

No the have different Computer name, I can also tell that I
can browse the network so the ip config is also ok.

Try netdiag on both OS's to see if they are coming back with similar configuration. As well as different computer names are you using different IP's? If they are dhcp you are probably getting the same address for both OS'es which I guess means the name records both point to the same box; which I wouldn't of thought would be an issue, but something to consider.
