Hello all!

 I just set up a network of two machines for a friend -- one NT 4.0 Server,
one Windows98 client. I set up TCP/IP using static addresses. Each machine
appears in Network Neighborhood in the domain I created; I mapped the
network drives, and both machines can exchange files. Purely for fun, I
decided to ping both boxes, using the machine names. The NT box can ping
itself and the windows box getting an immediate response. However, the
Windows98 box can ping iself, but when I attempt to ping the NT box,
it(windows98) launches dial-up networking. I am somewhat confused by this
behavior since I put the machine names and their corresponding IP addresses
in both Hosts and LM Hosts for good measure. Clearly, the name of the NT box
is not being resolved to its IP address by the Windows98 box. Again,
everything is working, but for the sake of my education can anyone enlighten
me as to where I erred in this matter?

                                        TIA,
                                        Glenn
