Re: windows TCP/IP

I actually use this quite frequently.  The file is C:\Windows\lmhosts.  That's 
"lmhosts." with a . and no extension.  You put entries in it like this:
10.0.0.4 Uncle
10.0.0.8 Frank
and etc. The Samba alternative is vastly more elegant, but you can use this 
for a quick and dirty fix if you just want to try it out before putting a lot 
of work into it.
