awkward way.. but you could add ur machine to all the hosts files
on the other machines. Having said that i do remember havng it set
up so as win95 machines could telnet to the netbios name of
my samba server... I think that i just specified the name in the smb.conf
like u said u tried..
I'll have a look when i get home
