Disable LMHOST lookup/table

[rrgrassi]

Hi!

I have not run into this before...I am at a client site, they are using static IP. Who ever set this up, set up a LMHOST file allowing only 20 addresses. Well, now they need about 20 more, and I cannot get AD to see these additional addresses. I have #'d out the LMHOST records, and disabled LMHOST look up. Eventually I will enable DHCP, but cannot at this time since the prior admin set up this static scheme using public addressing. What a nightmare!

Thanks four your help!

Are they running WINS? Post this in the DNS/BIND/DHCP/WINS forum. I think this is more a wins issue than a server issue. Good luck.
