"Called name not present", using net use

[Guest]

My question, then, is as follows: Is it possible to access a remote Windows
share from a Win98 or MS-DOS 6.22 client using an alias which is NOT the
target host's actual hostname? I've added an entry to the local LMHOSTS file
which does get me to the point of opening a socket and attempting
communication. However, I then get a "called name not present" from the
server.

Does anyone have ideas or suggestions? Is there some special way I can
construct the "net use" command to get around this? Or perhaps a server
setting (Windows 2003) which will tell it to respond to the alias I've
created?

Here is a very brief network capture from Ethereal:

I've weeded out domain browser announcements, etc., and have shown only the
connection and session setup attempt from the Win98 box. It does not need
nameservice, as its local
LMHOSTS file has the IP. So, it opens a socket and requests a session, but
the server returns a negative response because "Called name not present".

Thanks.

Can you spoof it in WINS?

I tried using WINS to spoof it but it did not work. Any other ideas? Thanks.
