Use the GUI tools if you don't want to go hunting around for the config
files that control everything.  That is assuming that there is such a tool
that deals with your resolve order.  I wouldn't know myself, I have chosen
Debeian for it's usually straightforward layout.

There shouldn't be any comma in there it should be :

hosts:          files dns wins

Where are you pinging from? From your windows workstation? From the server?

For what is below, are you doing this from your test server as well?

There was a thread titled logon.bat that started a bit before this one.
Have a look at that for example logon script settings.
