Hi,

Can you 'ping' by netbios host name (assuming network allows ping =
packets)?

If not you could check using 'nbtstat' commands to see if it can resolve =
the name your using via wins (need an administrator logon for access to =
nbtstat). =20

Also look in the WINS service and check database has the hostname you =
expect (usually DHCP registers addresses with WINS and DNS services if =
appropriate boxes ticked) - probably, at least, should show types 20h =
(file server) and 00h (workstation) ?

Subject: [fourjs-users] Windows name resolving

Hello list,

A customer of us is trying to use a hostname instead of an ip address. =
He uses WINS (windows name resolving) but it can't connect.
Does anyone know if there are issues and things to look for to use WINS =
instead of DNS.

Best regards,

Met vriendelijke groet,
