host: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using the system /etc/hosts , NIS, or DNS lookups. Also, lmhosts is /etc/samba/lmhosts, and not /etc/lmhosts. The format is almost the same as /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.30 toshiba 192.168.1.31 thinkpad 192.168.1.34 mary 192.168.1.101 brother But it is strange that it works for one host, and not the other.
