This is correct, except that it is used for all NetBIOS name resolution; i.e.,
NetBIOS layered over TCP/IP or IPX as well as the "raw" NetBEUI. It is used for
things like mapping drives to other NT boxes if you don't have a WINS server
(and depending on the NetBIOS node type of the machine, etc., etc.)
I would assume that the I/A software doesn't use NetBIOS or lmhosts. We don't
have any 70s here, so I can't say for certain.

Subject: RE: AW70 Installation problems
The LMHost file is used by the NetBEUI protocol to resolve network
addresses. It is a hold-over from the old LAN Manager network operating
system, hence "LMhost". I am not giving you much information here as I am
pulling from memory here, but I believe that is the purpose of the LMhost
file.
