Problem: On Windows systems, "Server not responding" error occurs when issuing dscontrol or lbadmin

When more than one IP address is on a Windows system and the hosts file does not specify the address to associate with the host name, the operating system chooses the smallest address to associate with the host name.

To resolve this problem, update the c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with your machine host name and the IP address that you want to associate with the host name.

If you are using dscontrol, you can specify the connection address using the following command:
dscontrol host@@<ip_address or host_name> <command>
Avoid trouble Avoid trouble: The IP address cannot be a cluster address.gotcha
