>>Is there anyway of checking which HOSTS file a PC/Server is looking at to identify IP Addresses, the reason I am asking is that some of our NT Servers are using LMHOSTS instead of HOSTS - and my application will need to identify which HOSTS file is being used so that it can obtain the same IP Addresses that the PC/Server will be using.

It just occurred to me that this sentance could be miscontrued. I meant to say that TCP/IP and NetBEUI are two different protocols. NetBEUI is an extension of NetBIOS and the two names are often used interchangebly.
