Hi Stefan,
The Hosts file is used for FQDN resolution (\\hostname.domain.local) and the
LMHOSTS file is for NetBIOS name resolution (\\servername).
The files are only needed on the client side to help your client find your
server. If you are able to connect to the shares every by using
\\ipaddress\sharename but not by using a NetBIOS or FQDN then your problem
can only be with name resolution.
Kind regards,
Wes
