No need to add those hosts files. Check the winipcfg and make sure
everything is pointing to the server-IP. Check the server if it is running
WINS. Check DHCP server, Scope options and check it has 003, 006, 015, 044
and 046 (0x8).
If the server has 2 nics, make sure the bindingorder shows that the internal
nic is on top.
