lmhosts on w2003

[mathiasfritsch]

I have an application that uses a fixed path to access resources
(//computer1/databases ).
I changed my lmhosts according to
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=150800
10.0.0.114 computer1 #PRE #DOM:mydomain
also tried
10.0.0.114 computer1 #PRE

Calling nbtstat -R , nbtstat -r gives me: Resolved by Broadcast 5 ,
Resolved by Name Server 5, Registered by Broadcast 4, Registered by
Name Server 0

Netbios Names Reolved by Broadcast :...(list not including computer1)
I enabled "Enable LMHOSTS lookup" in Wins and also opened the lmhosts
in "Import LMHOSTS..." and NeaBIOS setting are default.

I changed lmhosts ( not lmhosts.sam ;-)) and saved the file as Unicode.

Ping computer1 gives me the default location for not resolved
adresses.

Is there still something missing?

I take it that this is a typo:

"//computer1/databases" = \\computer1\databases ?

What happens if you put '10.0.0.114 computer1' and/or '10.0.0.114
computer1.domainname' in your hosts file?
