You need sonme sort of name resolution. DNS or perhaps netbios. Put the
pi on a static IP address.

I do not know how you are resolving pi151 into an IP address.



The problem is there are more than one strategy you can use, and its
lttle to do with a raspberry pi and a whole lot about designing and
configuring a private IP network.

This isnt hard, but its not trivial for a beginner.
