Problems connecting via NT 4.0 SP 4

Quoting Melissa M. Thrush (mmt4q at ee.virginia.edu):
> Not sure, but I've had this error message on NT machines when I

it's always helpful to have an lmhosts file on the Windoze box to help the
poor thing figure things out.  on Win95/98 this file is
%SYSTEMROOT%\hosts, and on NT4 the file is
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts.  simply putting an entry in
like the following will help out immensely:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx     host     #PRE  #DOM:DOMAIN

ex:

192.168.0.1	  sambapdc	#PRE  #DOM:MYDOMAIN

this will preload the sambapdc=>192.168.0.1 reference in the NetBIOS
namespace.
