[Samba] not able to do dns lookups after following samba 3 by example

[Vincent Yonemitsu]

EEEK, nevermind on this one I forgot to start the samba service after I
had to reboot. the setting > hosts : file dns wins works as it should it
scared me for a sec there. :)
but it might be good to clarify further in that section that although
the server in the example may not use DNS almost every server I have
ever seen in my life uses dns so the modified hosts line should be as
you guys suggest. It is just gonna confuse more people I would imagine.
