I am running MS File and print services over NetBEUI. Installed
IP just for WPVM, so I disabled the bindings for the Client and
Server. (you can run IP apps, just not F&P this way).

   I missed the Client on one machine, and found that it created
the effect of NetBIOS name = IP name. So, I enabled the Client
bindings on all the machines. No DNS or WINS required. And the
Servers are NOT bound, so less security risk IF we ever connect
to the Internet.

   BUT this effect does not seem to extend over RAS. Anyone know
why? And I seem to be having trouble configuring the HOSTS and
LMHOSTS.SAM files.
