Hello,

I'm using a Master Hudson v1.304 hosted, Tomcat 6.0.18 and JDK 1.6.0_13 on a
Windows 2003 Server R2 and I am experiencing 'A duplicate name exists on the
network.' error when trying to instantiate a Windows slave via the WMI method.
The configuration for the slave uses the FQDN for the slave host. The slave host
name being used is actually a CNAME rather than the IP Address or the A host
name entry.

I believe the source of the problem is actually a JCIFS/SmbTransport issue and
it seems it could be easily resolved by first performing a DNS lookup and then
using the returned IP address when constructing the remoteRoot URL.

Otherwise following what the SSH-Slaves plugin does... by having a Host
parameter it would be possible to decouple the slave name from its true host
name or IP address.

many thanks,
andrea
