Host Names
Names are stored, and referenced, in many formats in TCP/IP. Although a host name is but one of many, it is one of the easiest to use. Problems, however, stem from the fact that Windows NT does not reference host names in the same manner as other operating systems.

In Unix, the host name is mapped directly to an IP address, and the IP address is mapped to a hardware address. Because NT uses NetBIOS internally, there is a stronger reliance on NetBIOS names than anything else. When a command is issued referencing a server, the NetBIOS name is resolved to an IP address, and then to a hardware address. For more information on this, please refer to Chapter 7, “NetBIOS over TCP/IP.”

The primary advantage of using host names is that they are easy to remember and bound only by the limitation that they be under 255 characters in length. You can use more than one host name for a host.

The host name used does not have to match the NetBIOS name of the Windows NT machine.

Host name resolution, quite simply, is the process by which host names are mapped to IP addresses. You can do this in a number of ways, including:
  • Local host name
  • HOSTS files
  • DNS (Domain Name System) servers
In the same way we saw that NetBIOS name resolution used host name resolution as a backup, NT uses NetBIOS name resolution to back up host name resolution. This means there are another three ways to resolve host names:
  • WINS servers
  • Local broadcast
  • LMHOSTS file
Each of these methods, and corresponding utilities, is examined in the following pages.
