We're having this exact same problem with 4.0. Tried a number of things like you said LMHOSTS, making sure DNS was working etc to no avail. going to start up on it again after the new year when everyone involved is back from vacation. If we figure anyway around it i'll post to the list.

list. It is reachable via Start, Run, <a>\\server2</a>
(DNS of course). Is there a way to setup failoverconfig.exe without having to
rely on WINS/NBNS for resolution? I tried a LMHOSTS file but the
failoverconfig.exe still doesn't see its partner.</span></font></p></div></div></blockquote></div>-- <br>Ed Leatherman<br>Senior Voice Engineer<br>West Virginia University<br>Telecommunications and Network Operations
