509.0. "Wrong destination in Routing tables" by TAV02::KALAI () Mon Jan 27 1997 12:32

Shalom,

I have a very strange behavior of the NETVIEW-NT on a site where I have a
NATIVE UNIX before.

When choosing :
monitor-->network-->routing table
we get in the destination colon PC NETBIOS NAMES (which are not listed in DNS)
as a network names.
We didn't succeed to understand how the NATIVE learn these names and why it
display them in the destination colon.
The customer was used to use the routing tables as they where in the netview
unix and see this feature as a big problem.

The network is a NT network over LAN and WAN (Star topology). In each Segment
 there is a DHCP server (running on the NT server).There are 2 WINS servers in
the central lan which all the PC clients are register.  

management station configuration:
NT workstation 3.51 service pack 4 on ALPHA.
Tcp/Ip + DNS + enable DNS for Windows name resolution.
There is no WINS server specified in the tcp/ip configuration.

I will appreciate any help or information concerning this problem.


regards
yael kalai

    Shalom Yael,
    
    What your customer appears to see as a problem (showing names vs. IP
    addresses) was seen to be an enhancement.  This is because most folks
    know the _name of the system that they use, and not necessarily the
    address.
    
    If this is a problem for your customer, can you give concrete reasons? 
    There are a number of things that behave differently under NT than they
    do under DUNIX.
