AW: Samba across subnets?

[Rudolf Kollien]

If you don't want to type the ip adress of your samba server every time you
connect, add a entry to your local hosts file and lmhosts file.

You will find this files (and sample files with extension ".sam") in the
windows main directory of Win95 and under "system32/drivers/etc" on WinNT
4.0.
