Re: Cannot connect to server
%WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc
lmhosts.sam needs to be renamed to lmhosts (no ".sam" extension).
lmhosts entry:

Re: Cannot connect to server
I looked at the site and made a LMHOSTS file. I attached it to this e-mail, because I'm not sure if I followed the instructions correctly. Let me know if it looks correct.
The Workgroup name is TPG.

Re: Cannot connect to server
Do you need to add the LMHOSTS file to the server too, or just the workstation computers.
Impress me with your knowledge.

Re: Cannot connect to server
You're using only a workgroup, not trying to connect to a domain controler.
try using the lmhosts file, but only place entries similar to what you would place in the hosts file.
i.e.
196.168.1.2 Server
196.168.1.3 W2kdesktop
196.168.1.4 Xpdesktop
The names MUST be the exact computer names as they appear on the Network identification page.
(The entries the article mentioned are great IF you are trying to connect to a Domain controler, and can't. In your case, each computer in the workgroup needs to have the lmhosts file with the other computer names in it.)

Re: Cannot connect to server
Now I wanted to know if I need to place the LMHOSTS file on the server computer as well.
The LMHOSTS file reads as:
196.168.1.2 Server
196.168.1.3 Jeff-HP
196.168.1.4 Mike
Thanks again.

SolutionAnd actually, you could place the same file on each (from your previous example, IF this is the complete list of computers)
196.168.1.2 Server
196.168.1.3 Jeff-HP
196.168.1.4 Mike
Make sure that the "Enable lmhosts lookup" is checked under TCP/IP properties on the WINS tab.
I don't believe that a reboot is required.
