I think MS just did us (and themselves) a disservice.

[Anders C. Thorsen]

Ulf,
please _don't_ have your mail client use HTML format, but use Plain text
instead please.

An no. It won't work. an WinNT box will only respond to requests to it's own
name,
_or_ to *SMBSERVER as the netbiosname.

(not the case for samba tough.)

What about this methods ? 
- Add an arp entry for any ip and to the above ? 
- Multihomed NT boxes with the other IP ? 
- Add an 'LMhosts' with another name, with IP to the NT box ? 
I guess this is moved the discussion _way_ out of topic, 
but I was just wondering.
