Hi,
I have following problem. By mistake I've entered wrong host ip in etc/hosts for SAPTRANSHOST. Then I've changed it to right one, but unfortunately Windows still uses the old one
I've restarted windows, did ipconfig /flushdns and nothing helped
Any ideas how to make it work? Where is it cached?

No. Nothing caused it do work as expected. I left it that way and changed STMS configuration ... it works, but "
saptranshost" still points to different machine than "ping saptranshost".

Thank you for your suggestions, but still the same problem.
File etc/hosts is set OK (ping saptranshost calls right host), but when I choose [Start]/[Run] and type
saptranshost - the old "wrong" host is opened.
I guess it's some Windows server trick.
I do not have SAP installed on this machine because I was just trying to prepare
saptranshost for install when the problem appeared.

Hi,
You DNS resolution is OK but your windows resolution is bad.
It seems that you use WINS servers for netbios name resolution and that their info is wrong.
Try a "net view
<saptranshost>" and see if the result is OK or wrong.

Olivier

The crappy forum editor hides the double backslash for the net view command.
nbtstat -RR
Releases NetBIOS names registered with a WINS server and then renews their registration.
Also, check this url:

To "reload" the host table:
- SM51
- Goto - hostname Buffer - reset - entire system
This should reset all hosts (and service) related data in your system.

Hi Filip
Try this in your windows computer
nbtstat -R
This Purge and reloads the remote cache name table
Please reward points if helpful

Hi,
You should have nothing special to do because etc\hosts is dynamic on Windows. No cache anywhere.
I've already seen stranges cases when the hosts file was bad because of non printable characters.
Recreating the file with notepad with what was visually exactly the same, did the trick !
