How to direct resolve names with suffix

Hello all,

I have two NIC drivers installed in the system (lets say NIC A and NIC B).
What I want is that when i ping like below:

ping anycomputer.mynetwork

then it should try to send netbios name resolution packet to only NIC B
(Currently it is not sending any request to any NIC interface and I am
getting "Ping request could not find host anycomputer.mynetwork. Please
check the name and try again.").

Please tell me how can I enable such a query i.e. how can I enable to send a
NetBios query request for a computer with a particular suffix to one of my
NIC (lets say B) and how, when such a request is received by a
"anycomputer", i can enable anycomputer to reply back?

Thanks,

Arsalan

I'm sot sure why do you expect NetBIOS to be involved here.
You are passing a DNS name to ping and it tries normal DnsQuery
to resolve it.

Additionally : netbios support only one NIC per computer ( be aware that
it's too old protocol :) )

Ok, how about using Multicast DNS for this purpose? I think Vista supports
Multicast DNS (please correct me). So now how can I enable a computer to
reply back for a multicast dns request for a computer name like
"mycomputer.mynetwork" where "mynetwork" is the prefix. It is possible that
the computer could have two NICs: through one of which it is connected to a
domain. I am talking about the another NIC (which is not connected to a
domain) to enable it to reply for a multicast dns request.
