If you can PING a machine using it's IP address but not it's Netbios name then DNS needs to be updated with the machine name and IP; and possably on the remote client pc too. Edit the HOSTS file on the remote PC.
If using Windows 10 that can be challenging. HOSTS is in etc\ something or other and it's a plain TEXT file.
Open it with Windows Notepad.exe and add a line
machine = 192.168.1.40
If your trying to browse a server at 10.1.10.5 from a client PC on 192.168.1.4 you can open Explorer.exe File Manager and in the address bar of the 192168.1.4 machine type
\\10.2.10.5\
You should see all shares on that remote machine or get a Login Password prompt first.
Nothings for certain; almost.
google it...
