- # This is a sample LMHOSTS file used by the Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows
- # NT.
- #
- # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to NT computernames
- # (NetBIOS) names. Each entry should be kept on an individual line.
- # The IP address should be placed in the first column followed by the
- # corresponding computername. The address and the comptername
- # should be separated by at least one space or tab. The "#" character
- # is generally used to denote the start of a comment (see the exceptions
- # below).
- #
- # This file is compatible with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x TCP/IP lmhosts
- # files and offers the following extensions:
- #
- # #PRE
- # #DOM:<domain>
- # #INCLUDE <filename>
- # #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
- # #END_ALTERNATE
- # \0xnn (non-printing character support)
- #
- # Following any entry in the file with the characters "#PRE" will cause
- # the entry to be preloaded into the name cache. By default, entries are
- # not preloaded, but are parsed only after dynamic name resolution fails.
- #
- # Following an entry with the "#DOM:<domain>" tag will associate the
- # entry with the domain specified by <domain>. This affects how the
- # browser and logon services behave in TCP/IP environments. To preload
- # the host name associated with #DOM entry, it is necessary to also add a
- # #PRE to the line. The <domain> is always preloaded although it will not
- # be shown when the name cache is viewed.
- #
- # Specifying "#INCLUDE <filename>" will force the RFC NetBIOS (NBT)
- # software to seek the specified <filename> and parse it as if it were
- # local. <filename> is generally a UNC-based name, allowing a
- # centralized lmhosts file to be maintained on a server.
- # It is ALWAYS necessary to provide a mapping for the IP address of the
- # server prior to the #INCLUDE. This mapping must use the #PRE directive.
- # In addtion the share "public" in the example below must be in the
- # LanManServer list of "NullSessionShares" in order for client machines to
- # be able to read the lmhosts file successfully. This key is under
- # \machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters\nullsessionshares
- # in the registry. Simply add "public" to the list found there.
- #
- # The #BEGIN_ and #END_ALTERNATE keywords allow multiple #INCLUDE
- # statements to be grouped together. Any single successful include
- # will cause the group to succeed.
- #
- # Finally, non-printing characters can be embedded in mappings by
- # first surrounding the NetBIOS name in quotations, then using the
- # \0xnn notation to specify a hex value for a non-printing character.
- #
- # The following example illustrates all of these extensions:
- #
- # 102.54.94.97 rhino #PRE #DOM:networking #net group's DC
- # 102.54.94.102 "appname \0x14" #special app server
- # 102.54.94.123 popular #PRE #source server
- # 102.54.94.117 localsrv #PRE #needed for the include
- #
- # #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
- # #INCLUDE \\localsrv\public\lmhosts
- # #INCLUDE \\rhino\public\lmhosts
- # #END_ALTERNATE
- #
- # In the above example, the "appname" server contains a special
- # character in its name, the "popular" and "localsrv" server names are
- # preloaded, and the "rhino" server name is specified so it can be used
- # to later #INCLUDE a centrally maintained lmhosts file if the "localsrv"
- # system is unavailable.
- #
- # Note that the whole file is parsed including comments on each lookup,
- # so keeping the number of comments to a minimum will improve performance.
- # Therefore it is not advisable to simply add lmhosts file entries onto the
- # end of this file.
