My experience administering an IP LAN using UNIX and NT, even in the
latest NT Server release, 3.51sp4, indicates Microsoft is still
muddled about routing and multi-homed devices.  As fundamental a task
as establishing (usable) trust between domains on LAN segments
connected by a router required reference to the bug and work-around
lists on the Technet CD, and diagnostic tools are nonexistent.  Once
they get WINS, DHCP, and the browser working on IP nets with more than
one physical segment, I might take them seriously with something like
CIFS.
