Mapp \\localhost\share does not work but \\computername\sha |
|
|
This must be simple but I really can not get it right.
I've got a Win2k server, IP-number 10.1.1.30 and some shared directories.
Working only locally on this machine (to make it simple when discussing it
with you). It works fine to connect to \\computername\share and also
\\10.1.1.30\share and even \\127.0.0.1\share but it does not work when
trying to connect to \\localhost\share
But making a ping request to localhost works fine so the name resolution
itself seems to work. I have also tried to put a line in either 'hosts' or
'lmhosts' like:
<<10.1.1.30 test #PRE>>
but that gives the same result, it does work to ping "test" but connecting
to \\test\share is impossible.
I've also tried with a WinXP prof computer with exactly the same result.
Any idea? My real situation is that I am having two IIS servers there the
websites points to \\fileserver\share at both servers but since the files is
local on both machines I simply want to make a line in the lmhosts-file at
every server, pointing to its own IP-nr. This way I can have both
IIS-servers pointing to their local files but anyway I will be able to copy
IIS-config between the two servers without problem.
Anyone having a sollution?

The file "hosts" does contain the mapping for localhost, i.e.
<<127.0.0.1 localhost>>
I've tried to put the name resolving thing at many different places now,
i.e.:
-dns server
-wins server
-hosts
-lmhosts
and in all cases the name resolution does work, i.e., when pinging the name
it does resolve the ip-nummer. Perfekt!!!
But, connecting to that name in any way, for example in Explorer I simply
wrote \\name it does not work.
Maybe it is a MS-stupid-limitation that the "calling name" and the
computername must be the same if it should work.
%computername% is one sollution, I will try if it works smoothly with my IIS
server to point my websites to \\%computername%\sharename
Any other ideas?

You should be able to find a file called HOSTS - no extension, just HOSTS.
It should contain the following default text... if it's missing the

Yes, it works fine. The reason why I think that \\bart\sharename is a better
solution is that in case of the need to point all websites to a fileserver
in the future, all I would have to do would be to change the settings for
CNAME-record "bart" in my dns server.
But maybe I have to realize that I can not get it all and therefor ends up
with using 127.0.0.1 anyway.
Still I think it is a stupid MS thing not to be able to user anything else
than the real Netbios name for a cumputer.

Just to bu sure,
is it totally impossible to connect to a name which has the correct IP-nr
of
the box but not the correct name. ?
I.e. the netbios-name of the PC is "homer", IP-nr 10.1.1.30 and in DNS I
have also manually put a connection between the name "bart" and
10.1.1.30.
Is it the true fact that I will never be able to mount any thing by
\\bart\share?
%computername% works when mapping drives, but not then pointing a website
in
IIS 5.0 to a share. I need a solution for that.

Sorry Guys you can't connect to the share using localhost as it is not
the
NetBIOS name of the computer. Use %Computername% if you wish to use the
local
machine.

Jag föreslår att du försöker ta reda på hur Microsoft
utvecklade sin implementation av NetBIOS i stället för
att kalla den "dum". Kanske finns det en tvingande
anledning att inte tilllåta något alias namn.

Då fortsätter jag väl på svenska då...
Jag tycker att en MS-maskin kunde svara utan att netbios-namnet var korrekt
vilket inte är samma sak som att jag tycker att den borde kunna ha flera

Re: Mapp \\localhost\share does not work but \\computername |

I have seen many people try and all fail.
This may work if it is a stand alone winnt 4 server or workstation.

Is it the true fact that I will never be able to mount any thing by

%computername% works when mapping drives, but not then pointing a website in
IIS 5.0 to a share. I need a solution for that.

Sorry Guys you can't connect to the share using localhost as it is not
the
NetBIOS name of the computer. Use %Computername% if you wish to use the
local
machine.

The file "hosts" does contain the mapping for localhost, i.e.

I've tried to put the name resolving thing at many different places
now,
i.e.:
-dns server
-wins server
-hosts
-lmhosts
and in all cases the name resolution does work, i.e., when pinging
the name it does resolve the ip-nummer. Perfekt!!! But, connecting
to that name in any way, for example in Explorer I simply wrote
\\name it does not work. Maybe it is a MS-stupid-limitation that the
"calling name" and the computername must be the same if it should
work.
%computername% is one sollution, I will try if it works smoothly

\\%computername%\sharename
Any other ideas?

You should be able to find a file called HOSTS - no extension,
just HOSTS.
It should contain the following default text... if it's missing
the localhost entry add it and see if that makes a difference.
Starts below here.....
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for

host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The
IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the
corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should
be separated by at least one # space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

This must be simple but I really can not get it right.
I've got a Win2k server, IP-number 10.1.1.30 and some shared
directories. Working only locally on this machine (to make it
simple when discussing it
with you). It works fine to connect to \\computername\share and also
\\10.1.1.30\share and even \\127.0.0.1\share but it does not work
when
trying to connect to \\localhost\share
But making a ping request to localhost works fine so the name
resolution itself seems to work. I have also tried to put a line
in either 'hosts' or 'lmhosts' like:
10.1.1.30 test #PRE
but that gives the same result, it does work to ping "test" but
connecting
to \\test\share is impossible.
I've also tried with a WinXP prof computer with exactly the same
result. Any idea? My real situation is that I am having two IIS
servers there the websites points to \\fileserver\share at both
servers but since the files
is
local on both machines I simply want to make a line in the
lmhosts-file at every server, pointing to its own IP-nr. This
way I can have both IIS-servers pointing to their local files
but anyway I will be able to

Just to bu sure,
is it totally impossible to connect to a name which has the correct IP-nr of
the box but not the correct name. ?
I.e. the netbios-name of the PC is "homer", IP-nr 10.1.1.30 and in DNS I
have also manually put a connection between the name "bart" and 10.1.1.30.
Is it the true fact that I will never be able to mount any thing by
