[c-nsp] Windows networking across subnets

[neal rauhauser]

 My knowledge is rather dated, but if I recall correctly RFC 1001/1002
govern NetBIOS over TCP networking. The systems have four modes of
resolution - broadcast, point to point, and then the two methods combined
with either broadcast or point to point primary. This has likely changed
with the M$ attempt to embrace, distend, and break DNS. Under all of this
you used to be able to create name to IP bindings via an lmhosts file ...

  Given the ever shifting M$ sands this is probably all quite dated now, so
YMMV.


  You did not say which versions of Windows you're cursed with ...
