Re: Mapp \\localhost\share does not work but \\computername\share
thanks for sharing this with us, so we can learn from it too....;)
I speak 6 languages, but this is not one of them....
good luck,

Då fortsätter jag väl på svenska då...
Jag tycker att en MS-maskin kunde svara utan att netbios-namnet var
korrekt vilket inte är samma sak som att jag tycker att den borde
kunna ha flera NETBIOS-namn.

Jag föreslår att du försöker ta reda på hur Microsoft utvecklade sin
implementation av NetBIOS i stället för att kalla den "dum". Kanske
finns det en tvingande anledning att inte tilllåta något alias namn.

Have you tried \\127.0.0.1\ShareName
Yes, it works fine. The reason why I think that \\bart\sharename is
a
better
solution is that in case of the need to point all websites to a
fileserver
in the future, all I would have to do would be to change the
settings for
CNAME-record "bart" in my dns server.
But maybe I have to realize that I can not get it all and therefor
ends
up
with using 127.0.0.1 anyway.
Still I think it is a stupid MS thing not to be able to user
anything
else
than the real Netbios name for a cumputer.

Just to bu sure,
is it totally impossible to connect to a name which has the
correct
IP-nr
of
the box but not the correct name. ?
I.e. the netbios-name of the PC is "homer", IP-nr 10.1.1.30 and in
DNS
I
have also manually put a connection between the name "bart" and
10.1.1.30.
Is it the true fact that I will never be able to mount any thing
by
\\bart\share?
%computername% works when mapping drives, but not then pointing a
website
in
IIS 5.0 to a share. I need a solution for that.

Sorry Guys you can't connect to the share using localhost as it
is
not
the
NetBIOS name of the computer. Use %Computername% if you wish to
use
the
local
machine.

The file "hosts" does contain the mapping for localhost, i.e.

I've tried to put the name resolving thing at many different
places
now,
i.e.:
-dns server
-wins server
-hosts
-lmhosts
and in all cases the name resolution does work, i.e., when
pinging
the name it does resolve the ip-nummer. Perfekt!!! But,
connecting
to that name in any way, for example in Explorer I simply wrote
\\name it does not work. Maybe it is a MS-stupid-limitation that
the
"calling name" and the computername must be the same if it
should
work.
%computername% is one sollution, I will try if it works smoothly
with my IIS server to point my websites to
\\%computername%\sharename
Any other ideas?

You should be able to find a file called HOSTS - no extension,
just HOSTS.
It should contain the following default text... if it's missing
the localhost entry add it and see if that makes a difference.
Starts below here.....
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for
Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to
host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line.
The
IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by
the
corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name
should
be separated by at least one # space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on
individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost

This must be simple but I really can not get it right.
I've got a Win2k server, IP-number 10.1.1.30 and some shared
directories. Working only locally on this machine (to make it
simple when discussing it
with you). It works fine to connect to \\computername\share
and
also
\\10.1.1.30\share and even \\127.0.0.1\share but it does not
work
when
trying to connect to \\localhost\share
But making a ping request to localhost works fine so the name
resolution itself seems to work. I have also tried to put a
line
in either 'hosts' or 'lmhosts' like:
<<10.1.1.30 test #PRE>>
but that gives the same result, it does work to ping "test"
but
connecting
to \\test\share is impossible.
I've also tried with a WinXP prof computer with exactly the
same
result. Any idea? My real situation is that I am having two
IIS
servers there the websites points to \\fileserver\share at
both
servers but since the files
is
local on both machines I simply want to make a line in the
lmhosts-file at every server, pointing to its own IP-nr. This
way I can have both IIS-servers pointing to their local files
but anyway I will be able to
copy
IIS-config between the two servers without problem.
Anyone having a sollution?

Use this syntax:
net use s: \\%ComputerName%\share
.
