Name Resolution between Solaris and Windows

Thanks RTM. (Is this for Read The Man-pages?) 
I'll take a look at the Sun Docs for more on the ipnodes.
As far as how the Win and NT machines resolve names, I am pretty sure they resolve names via DNS. However, I modified the HOSTS file on a couple of my Win2K machines, and added in the workstation_2 name with its associated IP address. I then re-imported the HOSTS file. After doing this I was able to ping the workstation_2 name as well as its IP address. These machines essentially can resolve the workstation_2 name now. I think this would deduce my problem to a Windows resolution issue versus a Solaris resolution issue. However, I am still not sure how the other workstations are getting their names resolved because they are not referenced in the HOSTS file...
On the Solaris Workstations in the /etc/nsswitch.conf files:
for hosts:
hosts: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files dns
Now I know this is different than what I have seen in other postings, (hosts: files dns), but this is what is in all of the workstations' nsswitch.conf files. I would think this could not be the problem.
Cheers,
medmonson

nss-systemd
NSS-SYSTEMD(8) nss-systemd NSS-SYSTEMD(8) NAME
nss-systemd, libnss_systemd.so.2 - Provide UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and groups. SYNOPSIS
libnss_systemd.so.2 DESCRIPTION
nss-systemd is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc), providing UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and groups allocated through the DynamicUser= option in systemd unit files. See systemd.exec(5) for details on this option. This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs 0 and 65534) remain resolvable at all times, even if they aren't listed in /etc/passwd or /etc/group, or if these files are missing. To activate the NSS module, add "systemd" to the lines starting with "passwd:" and "group:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf. It is recommended to place "systemd" after the "files" or "compat" entry of the /etc/nsswitch.conf lines so that /etc/passwd and /etc/group based mappings take precedence. EXAMPLE
Here is an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file that enables nss-systemd correctly: passwd: compat mymachines systemd group: compat mymachines systemd shadow: compat hosts: files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis SEE ALSO
