The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Client Windows-based applications may be unable to connect to server
applications over routers using TCP/IP, even though LMHOSTS entries exist for
the servers. For example, you may be able to use the NET USE command to connect
to a remote machine from the MS-DOS Command Prompt, but cannot connect from file
manager.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in TCP/IP-32 for Windows for
Workgroups, version 3.11a. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, use the #PRE flag for each entry in LMHOSTS to
ensure they are preloaded into the NetBIOS name cache.
