RE: Netserver problem

["Fritz Hayes" <fhayes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you have a clean IP connection to MAGIC?  Telnet and such works
against the Name MAGIC, without specifying the IP?

| I need help with NetServer.
|
| I'm trying to connect to a 400 at work, from home. The connection is
over
| ATT Broadband Internet, so I'm definitely not in the same subnet.
|
| I've put an entry for the 400 in both a HOSTS file and an LMHOSTS
table on
| my PC. When I run
|
|      nbtstat -c
|
| I get 3 entries for the system in question.
|
| When I then run
|
|      nbtstat -a magic
|
| I get a 'Host not found' message. I get the same message even if I use
the
| IP address form
|
|      nbtstat -A nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
|
| I've asked ATT if they block NETBIOS. The fellow I spoke with says no.
|
| Here's the results of the commands:
|
| C:\WINDOWS>nbtstat -c
|
|
| Node IpAddress: [24.118.96.196] Scope Id: []
|                NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table

|      Name              Type       Host Address    Life [sec]

| MAGIC          <20>  UNIQUE      nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn      -1

| C:\WINDOWS>nbtstat -a magic

| C:\WINDOWS>nbtstat -A nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
