I have 15 articles I archived from the Windows 2000 Magazine website a
year or so ago while researching the same sort of name resolution issues
(which is what it boils down to).
I'd be happy to zip them up and ship them to you if you think they might
help someone.
I don't have the original URLs, but they are named thus:
A DNS Primer,
Advanced WINS Features,
Domain Name Resolution with DNS,
How DNS Works,
Implementing WINS,
Inside a NetBIOS Name Resolution,
More LMHOSTS Tips,
Name Resolvers WINS vs DNS,
Navigating Name Resolution, Part 1,
Navigating Name Resolution, Part 2,
Need a Name-Resolution Solution,
NetBIOS Names and WINS,
Pick Users' Domain Controller, and
The Case of the Empty Network Neighborhood.
