Adding DNS Without Modifying The Host File
Jan 19, 2012
Windows 7 OS
I can ping and connect to servers by IP address from my workstation. However, Sys Admin wants everyone to use the DNS name instead. The only way I know to add DNS names is to modify the host file on the workstation. Sys Admin has forbidden users from modifying their host files.
How else can I map these IP addresses to DNS on a Windows 7 machine?
I have tried modifying the domain, thinking I can use the DNS entries on the domain server. Did not work. If this should be working maybe I'm not using the right domain? Any way to determine what domain to use?
I am decent in using command line, feel free to give non-GUI based answers.
Notes:
- I do know how to modify host files, including the Windows 7 work-around for having this locked out. But it's a "rule" by the Sys Admin not to do it. So I'm trying to adhere to the policy
- Sadly, asking the Sys Admin for the alternative tactic is not an option. Lame but true.
- I have scoured the internet for info on this issue. Everything I find either involves modifying files or enabling services on the server, or modifying the host file on the workstation. Even looking at the server settings is out (I don't have access).

I work in a service desk in +100 company and lately i got a task to gather all the host file entries that are on our network's PC's.We operate on windows XP 32&64bit, W7 64bit. Is there any tool that i could use to scan all host files within our network. I tried google of course but maybe i type my search phrases in a bad way to find something useful to my needs.

So I have a proxy server in my home that all the computers use to access the internet (XP Pro). I edited the host file on the proxy to redirect traffic for various reasons (ad blocking, etc.) But I have noticed that it doesn't seem to affect the computers that use the proxy. For example one entry in the host file could be 127.0.0.1 abc123.com so that abc123.com would loopback to the localhost. For some reason this isn't working. Is there anyway to get this to work without changing the host file on each individual computer?

I'm using the Linksys Wag325N which always served me well. I've always been able to get my VPN to my workplace going. Until now. I've edited a hostfile on my mac (etc/ppp/ip-up) to get a route setup to be able to use internet and the vpn at the same time. But now the vpn would work no more. Why do i think that it is a router problem? Because other computers in my home network aren't able to establish the vpn they used to work with for a long time.
1. is it possible that my /etc/ppp/ip-up on my computer messes up the router?
2. Is there a way to completely reset my router? Tried "restore to factory settings" which did not work. Is there a "harder" reset?

I have the e4200 v2. I had a hard drive attached to the router. When I try to add files to folders on the drive, sometimes I can add files and sometimes I can't. It is a folder by folder basis. I can't seem to change any security setting that will let me add files to certain folders on the drive attached to the e4200 v2.

If you have a headsite with multiple EZVPN clients (PIX 501 & 515) connected in a star configuration can you have one remote site connect to another remote site using the intra-interface command and modifying the encryption domain on the EZVPN Server?

I have a host that can successfully connect to a PIX 515E (7.x OS) via VPN Client; however, I have no IP routing to the LAN from the remote host.The VPN IP pool works finem,The LAN default gateway is the inside interface on the PIX; the network is flat L2 behind it.The default route on the PIX points out; no other routes are defined,The VPN remote host can be pinged from LAN hosts, but the VPN remote host cannot ping any LAN host, not even the PIX inside interface.

I am working on a Drupal site which is on a virtual server (the way it's been explained to me). I've been told I need to work with it through webdev. So I can copy a file off the server and onto my local machine. I make my edits and then try to upload it to the server. I get locked out with the message: Error 0x80070021: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file. I have tried shutting down my code editor, opening and closing the connection, tried different methods of reaching the server (Cyberduck and through Window's map network feature) to no avail. What can I do?

I am trying to find a way to find the netid and hostid of any given ip address, given any ip address, I know the left side the IP address is the netid and the right side of the ip address is the host id but I am pretty sure there is more to it than that.

What are the most common cause for a "could not connect to host" problem?The firewall is not blocking anything, and even with the firewall disabled, the problem still occurs. With "Server" service turned on, the problem still happens.Windows xplso the server couldn't find any trace of a connection attempt, so my attempts to connect never actually made it to the server.

Any service where a computer can host a website just about anywhere with an internet connection? As in... using the VPN as the connection so that no router port forwarding is needed?

There are anonymous VPN services that let you hide your real IP address from the websites you visit.But can you host an HTTPS website from behind a VPN so that nobody knows your real IP address?

I am learning to write ACL's along with a billion other Cisco things. The internet is not clear on how to do this exactly. At least in my research.
I have two host on the same subnet and I want to block all except RDP TCP port 3389 from one host to another.
I want to apply that Access-group to a switchport interface on my 3750 that belongs to the computer I want to protect from the other.
Host A: 10.1.1.10/24 -- I need to block all TCP and UDP traffic except for port 3389tcp
Host B: 10.1.1.60/24 -- I need to allow only TCP port 3389 from Host A to this one.
This is on the same switch so I can use an extended ACL like 101 or whatever.
This is almost starting to make sense to me but im still weak on extended ACL. I got basics down pretty well.

I downloaded the HOSTS file from winhelp2002.mvps.org, hoping it would better my security. However, now some pictures that used to show either show the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." or just have the X box thing. I'm guessing this problem results from the new HOSTS file. What should I do? Should I revert to my old file? If so, then how can I do this?

Basically, I am swapping my Atom/ION nettop (that I use as a file server, game server, torrent server etc. etc.) for one that has no fans and no mechanical HDD. I control it primarily via RDP, so I don't need to plug a keyboard or display into the nettop itself.
The new one I'm getting should be a step up due to the whole no moving parts thing, as well as the much faster CPU. But Intel, in their infinite wisdom, have not provided (and don't plan on providing) a 64bit graphics driver for the GMA 3650.
If I were to install 64bit Windows on this new machine without installing a driver for the graphics, would I have any issues using RDP? I'm not sure if the visuals are generated on the host or the client and whether it would matter either way.

Is it possible to give me NAS and Xbox 360 Host names so that they show up in my DHCP Client list? Currently there are 13 devices connected, 11 of which have a host name but these two do not. It also shows the IP and MAC addresses of each connected device.I just want to make sure that all of the devices that are connected are what I would expect.

I have this Minecraft Server hosted at TCP 25565.I don't use any router and is connected to an RG-Box directly.My Firewall is disabled and so is Avast!But still nobody can connect from anywhere. I gave them my external IP and nothing worked out.I did a "netstat -a" search, and yes, I do have a connection listening at this port TCP.Still, I get this "Connection timed out: Connect" error when trying to reach my server from anywhere out side of my network.I called my ISP regarding this problem, and they told me that they were only blocking port 24 and 25, all other ports is free to use. And they told me that I don't need to Port-Forward or anything, I just plug my computer directly into the RG-BOX, and I should be good to go. But I'm not.

I have been asked to do is locate some computers on the network and run a security scan on them. Well i pinged the host name and got an IP address. Then the network admin me look up the switch port that the computer is located on and so on. So i find 3 of the computers im looking for and when i get on the computer and look up the name but it does not match the name given to me. So i do an ipconfig /all and see that the computer has the right IP address and MAC address but not the same name. So my main question is, are these computers one in the same or is something messed up?

I have 3 computers connected to the same home network. i name them XP1, XP2, and win7. obvious from the names, two pcs are running xp and one is running win7. I shared all three in the network. XP1 uses static local ip while XP2 and win7 use dynamic local ip. on xp2 and win7, i could not see XP1's hostname on neither xp2's my network place, nor win7's network. However, i could access xp1 over using its static IP. what xp1's hostname is not shown on the other two's network places? is that because of xp1 is using local static ip?

I'm a newb at this stuff and hope someone will take pity on me and point me in the right direction?In a nutshell, we run a SBS2008 server at work with 20 users. Our company has a domain name which, via DNS hosting is pointed to our static IP. Email address's are handled via the server using Exchange 2007. Documents and files are stored on a data drive on the server (lets call it Server 1). We have now setup a second business with a different domain. I now have 10 users who will need access to the files on Server 1, but will run under a different domain (and need different email addresses) and need to have access to files stored on Server 1 and the new Server 2. The current setup is simple. ADSL comes into the server room and goes to a modem/wireless. From there it goes to the server which handles the DHCP. The server is in turn connected to a 24 port switch which then feeds the workstationsI have access to purchase another server and whatever hardware is required. No amount of Googling matches my scenario hence my question. What I'm really after is a mudmap showing setup or the right way to set this up

If I did use the hub would I get full speed on the PC or PS3 as long as one or the other was switched off or would I always get half speed regardless?

I have recently purchased a PS3 and would like to add it to my network. I currently have router in an upstairs room and it is linked to my PC in the basement using an ethernet cable.My new PS3 will also go in the basement. Question: as there is only the single cable going to the basement could I link the PS3 using a hub? I have a small Netgear hub left over from years ago would this work? If I did use the hub would I get full speed on the PC or PS3 as long as one or the other was switched off or would I always get half speed regardless?

I was attempting to troubleshoot a logon problem with some machines, when it was finally revealed that there was a managed switch between the host and the target preventing this.
How would I detect this in the future? (A tracert showed nothing between host and target.) Would Wireshark show me this info, with reduced TTLs?
getting a picture of all devices between a host and a target?

where the host names do not properly resolve with the right ip address.Example, I ping a host name, it gives me an IP, but when I VNC into the workstation, it is a totally different host.
