just search for lmhosts and it should be drilled down below the \winnt\system32\drivers\etc, and it has some good examples of how to configure it. It basically just statically maps a NETBios name to an IP address...same as WINS server. You may also want to configure the hosts file as well, which maps an IP to a FQDN. Good luck...and be sure when you edit the files that they remain just "lmhosts" and "hosts" with no extension or they won't work.
