Net use with hostname fails, IP address works fine
Vista Business standalone machine
Share named "SHAR" is defined IP address of machine = 192.168.2.132 Name of computer=USERPC HOSTS file contains 192.168.2.132 bsserver These commands work: net use L: \\localhost\SHAR net use L: \\192.168.2.132\SHAR This command fails (after prompting for the user/password): net use L: \\bsserver\SHAR System error 86 The specified network password is not correct The same experiment on Windows XP yields "Error 1326 - unknown user name of bad password"... In both cases I can ping bsserver, so name resolution works. Any ideas? TIA, Luc K

\\localhost\SHAR and \\bsserver\SHAR are different if you do these command
in a remote computer. Post back back with the result of this command ping -a 192.168.2.132. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Luc Kumps" wrote in message ...

Thanks for your assistance!
\\localhost\SHAR and \\bsserver\SHAR are different if you do these command in a remote computer. I don't do it on a remote computer, I do it LOCALLY. The IP adress of the computer on which I'm doing this is 192.168.2.132, which is defined to correspond with BSSERVER in the HOSTS file. Post back back with the result of this command ping -a 192.168.2.132. It says Pinging bsserver" [192.168.2.132] with 32 bytes of data:" As no network traffic is involved (I'm doing this on a *single* machine), response time is 1ms. Are you able to connect to a share on your LOCAL computer, using a host name which is NOT the Computer Name, but which was defined in HOSTS to correspond to the IP address of the local system? Luc K
