You can put it in your hosts file too - try it if you do not believe me.
It also depends on what mode it's setup to use.

this syntax is for the lmhosts file, instead of the hosts file. the hosts
file is just like in unix, a local static mapping of hostnames to ip
addresses so the domain info doesn't apply. lmhosts is what you want to
give a windows machine a local mapping of computernames for domain
controllers, domains etc...
on my w2k system it's located in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc

More...
If you can ping a server by its IP address but not its name, try to add it
in the workstations hosts file.
The hosts file is in C:\windows on 95 an 98 computers, but I can't remember
where it is on NT/2000 computers. It might not even be there, so search for
hosts.sam which is a sample file.
If you in the same folder can see hosts (without any extension) edit it,
else create it.
Add the following line to it and save it:
192.168.1.19 Acct_Svr_1 #pre #dom:JoesShoeShop
where
192.168.1.19 is the IP
Acct_Svr_1 is the server name
JoesShoeShop is the domain name
See if it works now.
If that helps, you are not getting any name resolution from neither WINS nor
DNS.
Let me know,
Ole

Subject: NT Users cannot logon [7:21130]
All,
we have a situation where the users and the nt servers are on different
subnets divided by a L3 router that switches / routes information between
them. Everything seems to work perfectly fine. The user gets an IP address
via DHCP, he can ping and trace everywhere, as well as browse the web.
Although all this is happenning, the user cannot logon to the NT server
(v4).
All workstations, servers and routers are running only IP. Netbios is
encapsulated within IP.
Thanks,
Santosh
