Re: DNS and Netbios name

Hello Pat,

You can try to modify the "lmhosts" file under %systemroo%\system32\drivers\etc

Hello,

I have an application that uses the NetBios name to make a connection.
FQDN works fine but not the NetBios name. We manage 2 domains in our
enviorment and the application resides in the other domain. I dont
want to
edit host files. and we don't use WINS. Is there a way to set up a
host
record that points to a netbios name?
Thanks
