SUMMARYSome of the LAN Manager for UNIX and Pathworks servers may have problems in communicating across routers with Windows NT workstations. The use of #NOFNR flag in the LMHosts file solves the problem. MORE INFORMATION
When you are communicating with a server across a router in a IP
routed environment, the LMHosts file is used to resolve Workstation
name-to-IP address mapping. The LMHosts entry for a remote machine name
provides the IP address for the remote machine. In Lan Manager 2.x,
providing the LMHosts entry eliminates the need to do a Name Query
broadcast to the local domain and instead a TCP session is established
with the remote machine. Windows NT performs the same function in a
different way.
Note that this will only apply to mylmxserver and not to any other
entries in the LMHosts file. To set a global flag, an entry could be
added in the registry. To completely remove any directed Name Queries
sent from a Windows NT machine, create the following value in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Nbt\Parameters:
This will cause the directed Name Queries to not go out for any remote
machines.
