Routing and Name Resolution

For routing, e.g.: when routing from HG 1500 to HG 1500 and for peer-to-peer connections
(Windows for Workgroup Network for IP routing), you must create an LMHOSTS/HOSTS file on
the client PCs. This is stored in the Windows directory under Windows 95, and in the directory
WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC under Windows NT or 2000. The file LMHOSTS.SAM in the
directory can be expanded but must not have an extension (LMHOSTS).
Sample entry:
192.168.10.10 HG1500
192.168.10.20 PC1
Do not forget to press Return after the last entry.
Once the LMHOSTS/HOSTS file has been created, a ping command with the name (for example,
Ping HG 1500) should be transmitted to the partner. Since browsing is not transferred in the
case of routers (broadcast messages), the other PC can only be found by right-clicking the
"Network Neighborhood" and "Find Computer" icons. Once the computer has been found, the
network resources can be accessed. The other PC cannot be accessed by opening the network
neighborhood.
Names should contain no more than eight characters since some operating systems
>
run into problems if there are more than eight characters in the name.
Modifications in LMHOSTS/HOSTS are only effective after the computer has been re-
booted. Under Windows 95 and 98 you can also use the command NBTSTAT
-R.
