Correct. Both client and host sites must use different subnets. If they are the same, none of the above solutions will help, as that is a routing issue, not a name resolution issue.

V informative notes, thsnks!

On the brute force method, using plain IP, does this assume then that there are no conflicts, ie same IP on the local and remote networks? ( for clarification, that would not be a problem it they use different subnets - 192.168.2.x and 192.168.5.x - but would be if both are on 2 say )

My apologies, correct, only Hosts file and DNS names can be used with IPV6. I will edit the post. Thanks aluni

Can the LMHosts file really be used for IPv6? Remember that there is _no_ NetBIOS over IPv6.

... and when you go to IPv6, you'll have no WINS, but you will have LLMNR - Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution.
