Troubleshooting the LMHOSTS File
When using the LMHOSTS file, problems, like failure to locate a remote computer, can occur due to the presence in the LMHOSTS file of one or more of the following errors:
- Absence of an entry for the remote server.
- Misspelling of a computer's NetBIOS name. (Note that NetBIOS names are automatically converted to uppercase.)
- Invalid IP address for a computer name.
- Missing the required carriage return character at the end of the last entry.
