Re: Windows file sharing over different subnets

["Andrew J. Meader" <ameader@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't want to run wins on your nt2k box then you should work with 
the lmhosts file. lmhosts.sam is a good reference for what you are 
trying to do. You can use Samba to do some netbios forwarding but for 
what you are doing that might be overkill. Read lmhosts.sam (on one of 
the windows boxes.)
