Oops I pressed Control-S for Send... darn it
(windowsdir)\LMHOSTS. The file on NT is not specified and you MUST point to
it through the IP setup screens. The normal location for it is
(winntdir)\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts (which is where the other Unix like
files are also, hosts, services, protocols, etc.).
Add an entry for your IP address(s) with the FQDN to your ...\etc\hosts
under NT and the resolution should return what you expect until Unix
(linux)...
134.56.78.90 myhost.mydomain.myorg myshortname
The first and second column are required (IP and FQDN) any addition will be
used for "short" alternative names. I use this some times.. Good example
would be
12.13.14.15 www.really.long.stupid.name.and.really.boring.com gohere
http://gohere works just as well as http://12.13.14.15 but is easier to
remember (since we like names and this whole name thing got started).
