Authentication Host

Defines the name of the Windows NT authentication host. Name resolution will be performed based on the netBIOS name as opposed to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If you do not have a server on your subnet supplying netBIOS name resolution, the mappings should be hardcoded. By default, the first part of the FQDN is the netBIOS name. For example, the host name should be example1 not example1.company1.com.

If the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used, put a suitable entry in the HOSTS file on the Windows 2000 machine.
