-#NOFNR Flag in LMHosts to Communicate Across Routers

-

-  Last reviewed: May 5, 1997 

-  Article ID: Q103765 

-  The information in this article applies to: 

-

-       Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1 

-       Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1 

-

-  SUMMARY

-

-  Some of the LAN Manager for UNIX and Pathworks servers may have

-problems in communicating across routers with

-  Windows NT workstations. The use of #NOFNR flag in the LMHosts

-file solves the problem. 

-

-  MORE INFORMATION

-

-  When you are communicating with a server across a router in a IP

-routed environment, the LMHosts file is used to

-  resolve Workstation name-to-IP address mapping. The LMHosts

-entry for a remote machine name provides the IP

-  address for the remote machine. In Lan Manager 2.x, providing

-the LMHosts entry eliminates the need to do a Name

-  Query broadcast to the local domain and instead a TCP session is

-established with the remote machine. Windows NT

-  performs the same function in a different way. 

-

-  When an LMHosts entry exists for a remote server, Windows NT

-will not send a Name Query broadcast to the local

-  subnet and instead send a directed Name Query to the remote

-server. If the remote server does not respond to the Name

-  Query, further communications (TCP SYN, and so on) will not take

-place. This was done to eliminate the performance

-  issues when trying to connect to a remote machine when it was

-not available (down). 

-

-  Some of the older LAN Manager for UNIX and DEC Pathworks servers

-do not respond to directed Name Queries sent

-  by Windows NT. In that case, the users will see an error 53

-(Path not found), even though they have specified the

-  LMHosts entries correctly. A new LMHosts flag #NOFNR was added

-to solve this problem. By specifying the

-  #NOFNR flag on the same line where the name resolution

-information for the server is provided, the directed Name

-  Query can be avoided. For example: 

-

-     130.20.1.1   mylmxserver   #PRE  #NOFNR

-

-

-  Note that this will only apply to mylmxserver and not to any

-other entries in the LMHosts file. To set

-  a global flag, an entry could be added in the registry. To

-completely remove any directed Name

-  Queries sent from a Windows NT machine, create the following

-value in

- 

-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Nbt\Parameters: 

-

-     NoDirectedFNR   REG_DWORD   1

-

-

-  This will cause the directed Name Queries to not go out for any
