Yes.  I have /etc/hosts configured to recognized the hostnames of each Linux 
computer (oak and pine).  It works great when Linux is running on both 
machines, but Windows is not configured to recognize my Linux box.

up Windows 98SE to resolve host names.  I need the Windows browser to 
recognize the Linux hostname/address.
