Do you have NBT over TCP enabled?  If so kill it if you don't need it.
Maybe try adding a couple of internal hosts to the hosts file on the
ntop box.  Make sure the domain suffix is correct as well.  Don't you
LOVE windoze name resolution process!  MAYBE try changing the Node type
as well - are you at H-Node?

I think someone posted a similar question fairly recently.  Maybe search
the archives for the last... 3 months?  and see what turns up.  I
haven't been able to determine if this issue is ntop and what libraries
and functions it's using on windows for name resolution - or if it's
windows config.  Where is your nTop box physically / logically located
on your internal network?  It's supposed to do various forms of DNS
"snooping" to minimize doing direct lookups on its own.  It would be
nice to know what parts of the name resolution is working and what parts
aren't.

Oh yea, be sure to delete your dnscache.db and flush your dns cache on
your windoze box.

Gary

Subject: [Ntop] ntop Win32 3.2.2 not resolving local hosts

 

I have complied version 3.2.2 for Windows.  It is up and running and
working to a point.

It will resolve all external sites our users connect to.  However all
internal network devices and workstations show as IP only.  I have read
the FAQ and set dont trust MAC and etc.  I have all our local systems in
DNS and with reverse PTR records.

They resolve just fine on the computer ntop is running on, but ntop
never resolves them.

Any suggestions?
