Hi,

I'm trying to connect to a share on a linux box from a win98 (or win2k) machine 
through an SSH tunnel.

The documentation found on the subject says to setup an entry in LMHOSTS file in the 
form of:


127.0.0.1          sambaserver         #pre


checking the status of the cache with NBTSTAT -c after doing a NBTSTAT -R does not 
show the entry for "sambaserver"

If I put any other IP address instead of the loopback address (or the interface's own 
IP address), the entry shows up in the cache.

When trying to connect to the remote share, the command fails with "error 53 network 
name not found".

With a sniffer, I can see my win98 machine doing several name resolution requests (one 
to the DNS and a few to the broadcast address) which tells me that the lmhosts file is 
not looked into.

any ideas?

regards
