2 Hostnames On 1 PC

[PzP1R8]

What is the easiest way to give a PC 2 names on the network, with the same IP address? I.e. an alias name?

First name: PC1.
Second name: virus_server.

I have a peer to peer network and hostnames are managed on a UNIX system. I have given the PC 2 names, but cannot "map a drive" to the second corresponding name?
I can ping both names in UNIX, but not on the PCs?

Do I have to put a manual entry in all LMHOST files?

Thanx

There are serveral ways you could to it:

- Add an entry into LMHOSTS file
- Add an entry into the HOSTS file

Entry to add in LMHOSTS file:

102.54.94.123 popular #PRE #DOM:MyDomain
or
102.54.94.123 popular #PRE


Entry to add in HOSTS file:

127.0.0.1 localhost.domain.com

You must open a DOS window and run the command:

NBTSTAT -R <-captial &quot;R&quot;

to load the new table, or reboot...
