I'm not an expert on Microsoft networking. But I'll offer my opinion anyhow. :-) I think the general solution for this requires running a WINS server. This is what Windows uses to find other machines on IP networks. If you don't already have a Windows NT machine set up as a WINS server, you can have Samba do it. See the "BROWSING.txt" file in the Samba docs for the details. The brief summary is that you need to add a line to your smb.conf in the [globals] section stating "wins support = yes". The other approach is that on any given client you can manually add hosts to the file LMHOSTS in the Windows directory. The syntax is basically the same as a /etc/hosts file. This is especially useful if you need to remotely access a server on an entirely different network than you usually use.
