99 GX Configurator-DP

When the DNS Host Name (here: "hugo") and the NetBIOS name (here: "derry") differ, GX

Configurator-DP displays the following message box:

When you use the DNS Host Name on another (client) computer as communication target the

other computer will try to get the IP address from a DNS server. If the target computer is not found

by its DNS Host Name, it is not possible to communicate with it.

Using the NetBIOS name or the IP address as communication target should succeed because

computers in a Microsoft Windows network send their names as broadcasts to other computers.

Microsoft Windows 9x provides similar settings. With Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP

the network configuration has changed a lot. It is not as easy anymore to assign a separate DNS

computer name.

For further details ask your network administrator.
