- Yes. You need MS TCP/IP v.1.1. It has a LMHOST table, similar to HOST table
- but mapping LAN Manager/Windows NT/Windows for Workgroups server names to
- IP numbers. The trouble is that it is a memory hog and it takes all of your
- UMB's or a decent chunk of your 640.
-
- The good news is that MS released protected mode TCP/IP-32 in early Beta.
- It does not make use of the LMHOST table yet, but runs in protected mode
- so no more wasting your low memory. I hope the next beta will implement LMHOST.
- The stack has some nifty features like Windows Domain Name Resolution.
-
- The bad news is that you need to upgrade to Windows for Workgroups 3.11 to use
- it.
