Well, that's something...
I can run "nbtstat -c" and it shows the machine/IP mapping for NetBIOS
(shows that it has it available) but "ping \\hostname" says it's an
unknown host.
Beats me how to set up NetBEUI since Win2K doesn't have an option for that
specifically. I made sure to turn on "File and Print Sharing" just in
case that was it but still no change. [shrugs]
I think it's this WINS lookup thing which is bugged...once I figure out
how to fix that I am golden.
