Hi there, I have some problem on the DNS. The following are my story. My company server connect to Company A through direct lease line. Company A end is VPN but my company is not. Company A got give us the URL:http://test.com.sg and http://202.12.125.1. Both url is for us to access to their server. http://test.com.sg actually is a domain name for http://202.12.125.1. The problem is this. If i type a URL:http://202.12.125.1 on my Internet explorer, i can browse Company A data/website. But if i type a URL:http://test.com.sg on my internet explorer, and the browser come error mean i unable to reach the url. What is the problem? Company A told me that only my company unable to access URL:http://test.com.sg is may be my DNS server not set properly. They said i must do some mapping on my DNS. What is that about? How to solve this problem? Anybody can help me. Thanks a million. regards Sarah

I have a solution might not be the best answer but it is an answer that should work. Load the address into your lmhost file. To do this add the following line to a file called “LMHOSTS” With no extensions. the first part is your ipaddress 202.12.125.1 the second is the domain name Test.com.sg #DOM: YourDomain Test #PRE the last part is for comments #Your Comments Here so it would look a lot like this 202.12.125.1 test.com.sg #DOM:test #PRE #COMMENTS HERE goto TCP/IP Properties click on advancand click on the wins table Check Enable LMHOST lookup Click on Import LMHOST… And select the LMHOST file you created What this will do is convert that domain name into a ipaddress for you.

LOL, I am dieing over with LOL.. it's a DNS problem not a NETBIOS problem...LOLOLOLOL, Okay.. First of all what type of DNS are your using? Active Dir Inter or Primary DNS?

it still would work, You know brian maybe you sould stop "Dieing Over with LOL" and do some research but I am sorry Not Every one can be a computer Wiz... Next time you have something to say why dont you take it out side the form

He is having a DNS problem , not a NETBIOS problem.. Just a host record ...
