New Was that WINS or DNS resolution?
And could you do that if you didn't have AD Driven DNS integration?

It is not a problem per say, it is just not the way it was meant to be done. The DNS and Name resoution police would just love to have Microsoft for lunch, they cross the line of annoyances quite often, enjoying every step the make.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
