name resolutions
(OP)
i'm having a problem with name resolution with WINS ,DNS etc.
all the pc's can connect through IP addresses but not through machine names.when i ping a machine name it gives me a reply from the loopback address (127.0.01)and not the IP address.
in which order does name resolution work?
cache, hosts files,wins, dns
for all the network software to work must i know change all machine names to IP addesses in their network configuration of the software.

RE: name resolutions
1. Cache
2. WINS
3. Broadcast
4. LMHOSTS
5. HOSTS
6. DNS
This is a NORMAL DEFAULT sequence, which can be modified through the registry to have the resolution go through - say, - Broadcats first, and WINS second.
If you'll give a little more info about your network configuration as well as check the entries in your LMHOSTS/HOSTS files I might be able to help you more.
