Toolkit: LMHosts Registry File Generator

LMHosts or Local Machine Host's are a depreciated NetBIOS over TCP/IP facility used in the discovery of NetBIOS (often called machine names) identities on a Local or Wide Area Network. LMHost is traditionally a file stored on a Windows PC which serves as a look-up table between known NetBIOS names and their assigned IP address(es).

On Windows CE, the LMHost facility of the CE equivalent of the Windows Browser service exists within the Windows CE registry database and, unlike its host counterpart, is generated in hexadecimal rather than in easy to read decimal.

The HPC:Factor Toolkit LMHost Registry File Generator will automatically generate a .reg file which can be imported into a Windows CE device's registry, populating an entry for the LMHost look-up table. You can use the LMHost generator as many time as is required, however each registry file must be imported into Windows CE separately.

Please Note: This script will operate on any Windows CE device running Handheld PC Professional or higher (Windows CE 2.11). Unfortunately due to browser limitations, for older devices the script must be run on a PC.
