If you do not have either DNS or WINS, and you don't wish to use broadcast resolution, you'll need to provide a table of IP addresses and hostnames, in the standard Unix
/etc/hosts format. On a Windows machine, this goes in \WINDOWS\HOSTS under whichever drive you installed Windows on (typically C:\). A sample host file follows:
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.236.1 escrime.example.com escrime
192.168.236.2 riposte.example.com riposte
192.168.236.3 wizzin.example.com wizzin
192.168.236.4 touche.example.com touche
192.168.236.10 hobbes.example.com hobbes
You can copy this file directly from any of your Unix machines'
/etc/hosts ; the format is identical. However,
you should only use hosts files in Windows as a last resort for name resolution.
