I need to know why the netbios names I placed in my Lmhosts file with the #PRE setting is not showing up in the cache. I put the ip address and the name in the file but when I run the nbtstat -c command I see no names in the cache. Even when I refresh the cache with the nbtstat -R command and reboot the machine I still do not see the names I placed in the file. The file is in the %systemroot%\wnnt\system32\drivers\etc directory. I did not use the sample file, I created a new file from scratch and renamed it so it does not have any extention. It is my understanding that if the addresses are preloaded in the cache it will show up with a -1 ttl when you run the command nbtstat -c.
What am I doing wrong?
