have you tried modifying your lmhosts file (or hosts file, whichever one doesn't have the .sam extension) on your machine in the winnt/system32/drivers/etc. folder?
I've spoofed server names before with that method. in the file, you should see an entry or two (at least localhost) with an IP next to it. just add one to that. granted, it means you'd have to modify lmhosts on every machine accessing it, i believe. dunno. just a thought. tim ->-----Original Message----- ->From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ->[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael Staines ->Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 12:03 PM ->To: NT 2000 Discussions ->Subject: FW: Fooling windows -> -> -> -> -> -> I have a recently "inherited" a custom application.
