Depending on how the NT Server is setup, if you receive your IP dynamically
(DHCP Servers), NT's DHCP has support to dynamically asign hostnames with
the IP Addresses. I am not sure, but this might be how they do it - will
Linux actually support that ?? *gasp* Microsoft is following RFC standards
these days? *laffs*
