5.5 doesn't care how the client resolves the name. Only the client cares,
and Outlook uses DNS (or HOSTS) first.

With 5.5 the client needs to resolve the NetBios name.
Easy to check, run "nbtstat -a Server_Name" Note the "a" must be lower
case in this command syntax.

Would using a HOSTS file be better(quicker)? I'M thinking LMHOSTS is the
last on the list when searching for hosts. Yes..no?

WINS.
If there are only 4 users... you could even deploy an LMHOSTS file (WINS
is
preferred)
