Windows Applications Fail When Using LMHosts File with NetBIOS (130152)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q130152 SYMPTOMS
Client Windows-based applications may be unable to connect to server
applications over routers using TCP/IP, even though LMHOSTS entries exist
for the servers. For example, you may be able to use the NET USE command to
connect to a remote machine from the MS-DOS Command Prompt, but cannot
connect from file manager.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in TCP/IP-32 for Windows for
Workgroups, version 3.11a. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the #PRE flag for each entry in LMHOSTS to
ensure they are preloaded into the NetBIOS name cache.
