LMHosts has a #INCLUDE which saves copying the file locally - it just looks
ant the included file (have to #PRE the server entry first tho).

I have found on the site that I am currently working at is that the wins
server often forgets all the static mapping that have entered into it and
the Lmhost file is the only option for static IP address. The log in script
copies a new Lmhost down to the workstation from a master file on the
server. This makes it quite manageable.

One problem we have noticed with Win95 and TCP/IP is that if you are using
HostNames in somecases windows will initially fail with a timeout of about 1
minute then connect successfully. Did not notice any Networking problems,
only seem connect with Apps that used TCP hostnames (Or was this before we
enabled DNS??).
We found that the hostname timeout could be solved by adding the host name
and IP address to the Hosts file on the Win95 machine.

I assume you're using TCP/IP - in which case the client is probably trying
to resolve the machine name to an IP address - hence the dial-up.
LMHosts, Wins, DNS ?
AFAIK Windows will try the above then DialUp then broadcast to the LAN using
NetBIOS - I'm at the edge of my networking knowledge here (correct me
someone if I'm wrong) but I'd make sure you can Ping the Server Name etc as
a place to start - if you can't then you need one of the above forms of name
resolution (Wins is by far the easiest on NT).
