Re: DNS and Netbios name

Hello Pat,

Sorry i missed the part "I don't want". I think you can not just add a record in DNS pointing to a NetBios name, think you have to use a WINS server.

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
