Thanks for the reply Napster,
but i dint get exactly what you are telling.. 
say in my case i am running Vmware linux running Samba of which the IP
address is 192.168.248.195 and hostname is just localhost.localdomain.. so i
added an entry to the file you have said above in windows hosts file.. but
still it is not working. it is telling the same problem..
and can you please tell me where to check the configuratyion file of the DNS
Server ?
