Re: Multi-threaded-server

If you don't have a proper dns setup for that system, you should be OK with editing
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
and adding
123.123.123.123 jupiter
to it.

Any DNS mechanism will either use the 'local' resolution method, on NT addressed by this file, or a proper DNS server. Please report back when your hosts or lmhosts file has been setup and I will do further research.
