Network share by hostname only and not IP

[Cyber-Mav]

so ran update today on my windows server 2016 machine and now i cant access its shares via ip address. i can however access them via hostname: \\server
tried some stuff like reboot server, upgraded network driver and same issue.
was working fine before the update, any idea what it could be?

weird thing is that i can remote desktop the machine by using its hostname or its ip address. just cant access its shares via ip and only via hostname.
hopefully @Avalon can chime in on this.

interesting, checked settings on a different server and only thing i can see is that netbios over tcp/ip is disabled on the server im having an issue with but enabled on the one thats working fine.
cant seem to enable it either. not sure whats going on
