UNC paths not working

Second posting today…
I have a strange problem in so much that UNC paths don’t work.
However, FQDN paths, and paths using IP addresses work.
Examples:

\servernameshare ( Doesn’t work )
\servername.domain.localshare ( works )
\ipaddressshare ( works )

This is a real pain as it is transparent to the users but my GPOs, WSUS and so on is all messed up and I do too much running around doing manual fixes rather than applying policies etc.

When a computer boots up, a DOS window quickly appears stating that UNC paths are not enabled ( not allowed, not permitted …. ) and is using FQDN

Has anyone seen this before and is there a fix ?

Thanks
