You only need to work in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc 2. lmhosts.sam is not used. It is sample lmhosts file. If you want to use it, you must copy it to lmhosts. Unless you have lmhosts lookup enabled in your tcp/ip properties under windows, I wouldn't worry about it, because it is not used. 3. Edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Add lines at the end of the file after the # signs, such as thus: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname Substitute the xxx's with the ip-address and hostname with the hostname of your linux box, and you will be able to ping the hostname.
