On occasion you will need to edit the hosts file on your machine.
in windows you go to : c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hostsbut does ThinOS have hostfile? and can i edit it like this?
10.90.91.10 server-HB-01.hb.local

There is no local editing of the Hosts file.
However, you can create a host file, copy it either to WMS or your fileserver and load it via policy or INI parameter.CG

You can find a PDF in the Downloads section under ThinOS called “First steps”.
Use that one to set up a fileserver with the correct folder structure. Then copy the host file to that server and add Hosts=your_hosts_filename to your wnos.ini.CG
Hi CG,
I’ve read the TechGuide PDF.
i’m affraid dat this doesn’t apply to our situation.
We use the Wyse Management Suite to manage all the thinclient.you say before:

Hi CG,
I still can’t resolve a host name to ip adress.
If want to edit the hosts file on my windows machine.
i’ll go to windows c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hoststhere i can put an record like this:
10.0.0.10 (space) server01
and it wil resolve the ip adress
In WMS i was trying some parameters, but it didn’t work. the name resolution failed.
Any idea how or which parameter i can use ?
Luwendy
Wrong place, wrong syntax.
Do not use “Advanced”, but “Hosts (8.6+)”. It is one category above.CG
