<div>
Are there any errors in the event log? &nbsp;Do you get this result when you try to use the hostname in a UNC path?<br />
<br />
I would suggest removing and then rejoining your computer from the domain as a quick and simple test.
</div>


<div>
it is a DNS issue. &nbsp;Give me a IPConfig /all
</div>


<div>
Is the server running WINS?
</div>


<div>
ipconfig /all works, <br />
<br />
all dns, dhcp, looks fine...<br />
<br />
but..i can try remove domain, and join domain again, see the result<br />
<br />
thanks all your guys, i will post result here after test...<br />
<br />
thanks
</div>


<div>
actually, fileserver doesnt run WINS
</div>


<div>
Hi I try removing domain to workgroup, and rejoin domain form workgroup..<br />
<br />
but it still doesnt work..<br />
<br />
any help would be appreciated..
</div>


<div>
Again I have to ask: &nbsp; Are there any errors in the event log? &nbsp;Do you get this result when you try to use the hostname in a UNC path?<br />
<br />
I think bradfuller wanted you to actually post the results of your ipconfig /all -- that would help us better understand the scenario.
</div>


<div>
please display the results of the IPConfig /all. &nbsp;Don't bother removing/rejoining domain.
</div>


<div>
check the Hosts file, if there is a typo in there can cause DNS problems
</div>


<div>
thanks for your all guys<br />
<br />
the host file is clear, no funny alias inside. <br />
<br />
ipconfig /all<br />

<div>
type, this at the command prompt to check DNS: <br />
<br />
Ping -a 192.168.0.154
</div>


<div>
dns fine....<br />
<br />
but i still can not access fileserver by using hostname, IP address fine
</div>


<div>
on your computer, enable dhcp (obtain IP automatically), refresh your IP and try again.
</div>


<div>
&quot;&quot;I also put 192.168.0.100 &nbsp;fileserver into host file, but still doesnt work.&quot;&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;&quot;dns fine....but i still can not access fileserver by using hostname, IP address fine&quot;&quot;<br />
<br />
****Remove all the data from your HOST file except the 127 loop back address. You should never have to configure host files when you have a local DNS server. <br />
<br />
HOST is to DNS as LMHOST is to WINS. We checked DNS and found it to be working. The browser UNC paths, by Netbios name is performed by netbios. By fully qualified domain name the UNC path translation is done by DNS. <br />
<br />
Go into the LMhost files (2 of them) and remove its data except the loopback. One is found at C:\i386\Host and the other is found at a lotcation like C:\System32\drivers\LMHost<wbr />. Edit them as you would the HOST file by using a text editor. <br />
<br />
If this doesn't work. Check your computer to make sure netbios over TCP/IP is enabled, and check for a netbios connection to the server by going to the server and seeing if it is listed in the browselist by looking at my network places. If not, I have further detail to help you fix your netbios problems. <br />

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
