Hi folks, I have installed a W2K SP 4 server with Citrix XP. Next to a DNS Server, I change the HOSTS file for using a alias name just on two Domain members (both Hosts files were changed). I can ping the machine, but if I try to "net use" the alias name, I receive: Error 52: a duplicate name exists in the network Does anybody know this error.... (because there's no such entry (server alias) in DNS or Hosts/LMHosts ..
