Alas, the lmhosts file would have to be on the client
machines, so you'd still ahve to convince them to
help you help themselves.
Pleas not that even if they have NT servers, they
still have to put the wins host name/address into
a box in the cntroll panel.
Only if they get their IP addresses from a windows-
compatable DHCP server can they get wins server
adresses automatically.
