For software testing, I have one machine that will attempt to access network shares under a certain hostname.



I want to host all these shares on the one machine, and not access the network - so I disconnect it from the network completely.



In my hosts file, I created an entry 127.0.0.1 somealias, so now I can ping somealias.



Now, Windows Explorer (and net use) act like they are willing to access \somealiasshare (and are able to access \localhostshare) but suddenly ask for username and password. No matter how I configure my sharing, my usernames, my passwords, and my share permissions, the error is along these lines: incorrect username or password



Using net use, I get more information: System error 86



What do I need to do?

          The solution is to tell LanmanServer that you have an alternative hostname using regedit:



          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesLanmanServerParameters



          1. Add a new String Value called OptionalNames and give it the new somealias value.

          2. Reboot the computer (or maybe restart service Server)


          After two days of searching, I correctly deduced that the problem is not with the sharing settings, users, or name resolving. It is with LanmanServer (the Server service).



          A successful connection is made to the local host, when connecting to somealias. After that however, during authentication, the service doesn't recognize the hostname you are connecting to.
