   I use DHCP to assign IP address to the client, also
internal is on top of external on the network connection
advance setting, on the lmost file for NT4 I only define
as 128.97.213.11, not 192.168.1.100, how to add the entry
for lmhosts files on NT4 server, the lmhosts files it say"
128.97.213.11 glctest #PRE #DOM:TRAINING1
