Thanks, but there is a license issue involved with the software, and until it is resolved I am not allowed to change it in any way.

Good luck, Ken C -----Original Message----- From: Michael Staines [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 3:03 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: FW: Fooling windows I have a recently "inherited" a custom application. To make a painfully long story short, The application has a server name imbedded in the code (\\servername1\sharename). I know this is a really bad setup, but, at this point I wont be able to adjust the code for a few days. (another very long story, but I wont be able to change the code) I have set up the software to use my present server that has a different name then the one that is imbedded in the code. I need to trick my machines into believing that my present server name is the server name that is imbedded in the code. I tried setting up a static wins entry and a DNS entry for the imbedded name to point to the IP address of the server that I have, and pinging by name works fine, but I need to be able to map a drive for the software to work. When I ping \\servername1 I get the proper IP address (IP of servername2) but If I try to map \\servername1\sharefile, I get "the network path was not found" I need to trick the commuters into thinking servername1 is servername2. Any suggestions? I know its probably something I'm overlooking so please post anything you can think of.
