lmhost.sam help!
This is a discussion about lmhost.sam help! in the Windows Networking category; My Windows 2000 is having all kinds of slow up when trying to browse the network. I have tried deleting that key in the registry to speed it up, but it did nothing. I guess I need to import a lmhost file but I have no idea on how to do this.
My Windows 2000 is having all kinds of slow up when trying to browse the network. I have tried deleting that key in the registry to speed it up, but it did nothing. I guess I need to import a lmhost file but I have no idea on how to do this. I have looked over the example in the winnt/system32/driver/etc directory, but I need more help than that. If anyone has more details or somewhere I can read to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,

If I ever had to use the file, I just put the names of the PCs on my network in there with their corresponding IPs. You can also tag them to be preloaded and indicate where your domain controller is. However, if I had a DC, I would install WINS and DHCP on it thus removing the need for LMHOSTS to begin with.
Also, are you removing the .SAM extension on that file? It will not work if you don't do that.
