Does W2K support name alias for the server?

For the server - open DNS and in the forward lookup zone - right click and enter a new alias - put in alias and host ip.

Is there a way without a DNS entry?

Create an alias instead, by editing:
Navigate to
HKEY_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

Add Value: OptionalNames REG_SZ String: ""

If you make it a type REG_MULTI_SZ, you can add multiple aliases.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
