Pocket PC Networking >> How to use Host Name instead of IP Address

by R2Fs » Wed, 07 Dec 2005 14:09:02 GMT

Hello all,

VS 2003 with .net framework 1.1

Trying to connect from the Pocket PC emulator to a web services. The issue
is that i have to give the ipaddress of my webserver to connect from the
pocketPC to the the Webservices. If i use my webservers hostname for the
webservices connection from the pocketPC the connection does not work. Is
there anyway i can use hostname instead of IP address is there any setting
which i have to do to make this work ?

Thxs,

Gazal.

1. iptables block host name instead of ip address

2. Resolve a name to an IP address (Like using the HOSTS file) 

I would like my Win2K DNS server to resolve smtp.jubbawubba.com to a 
specific internet IP address I specify, but still allow any other 
jubbawubba.com address to be resolved by internet DNS servers.  (For 
instance www.jubbawubba.com would still go to the jubbawubba.com website) 
I can accomplish the result I want by editing the hosts file on a client 
machine,  but there is no way I'm going to hoof it around to every client 
machine and do that!

I'm sure this is something insanely simple..... but I don't know what it is. 
I tried creating a forward lookup zone jubbawubba.com,  but it intercepted 
everything, and didn't work.

Thank you!

4. using mac address instead of an IP address of hostname 

Hi,

Can one make rules in iptables to allow outgoing connections based only
on destination mac addresses? I looked at the man page of iptables and
looks like that it can be used for incoming packets in some chains only.

thanks,

5. hosts file : multiple host names for ip address

6. Can view shared folders using IP Address but NOT using Machine Name - all using Windows XP 

I have three networked Windows XP computers.

The machine names are as follows:

machine1    (192.168.0.2)
machine2    (192.168.0.3)
machine3    (192.168.0.4)


machine1 and machine2 can view the networked folders using dns names:

\\machine1\folder
\\machine2\folder
\\machine3\folder

and using IP addresses:

\\192.168.0.2\folder    (machine1 ip address)
\\192.168.0.3\folder    (machine2 ip address)
\\192.168.0.4\folder    (machine3 ip address)


However, machine3 can only view machine1 and machine2 folders using IP
Addresses:

\\192.168.0.2\folder
\\192.168.0.3\folder

But machine3 can view machine3 folders using names and ip addresses:

\\machine3\folder
\\192.168.0.4\folder




I cannot figure out why this is happening?  Any thoughts?
