Hi kpanchev

Getting outside my comfort zone here. I know what the hosts file is but what do you mean by put records in it. What records do I put in each machine's hosts file and what do the records look like?

The machines are set to default so that "if a fixed IP address is used or the DHCP server does not provide netbios setting, enable netbios over TCP/ICP". Is that not good enough?
