I would like just to acquire some experience starting from my small
2 machine network with a dial up connection to the internet.
I'm bored to type in the browser http://123.123.123.123 to reach my
"intranet web server"
So this would be a good time to solve a problem and get some just
a little bit deeper knowledge of the thing.

I've found a template on my NT machine I'll try to play with it.

Is it true also for my intranet of MS machines?

I'm running NetBios and TCP/IP. Could WINS be helpful to
"translate" NetBios Names in TCP/IP names on my intranet?
