Is there a way to redirect a UNC path (e.g. \\somename\myshare) to a share
on the same computer when the computer's name is *not* somename and the
computer is not connected to a network? The NIC is working, just not plugged
into anything.
Adding an entry to the HOSTS file allows pinging of somename, but adding an
entry into LMHOSTS and enabling its lookup does not allow the UNC to be
recognized.
In other words, I want the full UNC path to work whether the computer is on
a network or not. If not, somename is to be redirected to the localhost and
a share is created on the local computer and given the name myshare.
