Hi everyone,

this M$ product illness has been discussed on the samba-technical
list a few days ago : some have discovered that in some circumstances
M$'made "gethostbyname" syscall were first "netbios-mapped" and then
"dns-mapped" (you can define the priority have these calls, but it also
depends of your 'netbios-node-type' broadcast, wins, mixed...)

I've given up this treat, but afaik, there was no means to prevent those
brain-dead 'doze from acting so...

I recall this problem was mentionned on the win95netbug site
(http://www.euronet.nl/~gco_fvee/win95netbugs/faq.html)
