hey

I got a winXP (pro with sp2) machine and a win2k3 machine. From the winxp
machine I can ping the win2k3 machine. The win2k3 machine is a domain
controller: test.local. win2k3 machine can ping winxp machine

But from winxp machine I cannot ping test.local

so I thought about setup LMHOSTS at the winxp machine

my question is this:
#DOM:DOMAIN_NAME, should I here put the the netbios name (TEST) or the full
active directory name (TEST.LOCAL)

any suggestions?

solved
