![Desktop Support Interview Answer Desktop Support Interview Question](https://globalguideline.com/public/images/interview/2.png)
Answer:
The "HOSTS" file contains entries that simulate "A" records in DNS (and PTR records, too). Only DNS-legal names are allowed in this file.
The "LMHOSTS" file contains entries that simulate NetBIOS name resolution responses (and they have a baroque little mini-language to let you preload entries into the NetBIOS name resolution cache, specify domain entries, and include other files). Only NetBIOS-legal names are allowed in this file.
