Domain and workgroups are sort of like computer accounts, they are browsable
resources. If you have a computer named the same as a workgroup or Domain
you will have problems.
The NETBIOS claim name call has multiple kinds of names that it can claim,
individual name, or "group" name. I belive that the group name is what the
DCs us when they come up, first the individual name for the computer, and
then a group name for the domain.
I'm kind of surprised that you haven't got a lot more problems, like
"duplicate name" errors. I guess that your routed networks help that.

Subject: NetBIOS question
Could be that or something else... I need a bit of help.. not sure where to
go from here..
I have a series of trusting domains all on different subnets. They trust
each other.. no problems.. except
I have a domain that has similarly named computers.
So I would have a DEV network with IIS_DEV in it and a DEVELOPMENT network
with IIS_DEV in it also.
Problem? If I try to parse the DEVELOPMENT network first I get an error
saying it can't retrieve the server names, then off a sudden they popup.
Browse through the DEVELOPMENT\IIS_DEV box and find out that its actually
the DEV\IIS_DEV box.
What have I done?
Registered the domain with the IP addresses in WINS.
Created and imported the LMHOSTS file with the servers in the DEVELOPMENT
network.
Now I don't get an error parsing the DEVELOPMENT network but it I still get
the DEV servers.
Anyone have ideas how I might get around this? Its only temporary and I just
need a few developers to access it for ensure things work properly.
Thanks
