                    Thanks for your help, I mistaken said that it was the
LMHOSTS.SAM file which in fact it was just the LMHOSTS file itself and here
is a copy of it, there are more stuff on top but it just the stand LMHOST
message.

# 102.54.94.97 rhino #PRE #DOM:networking #net group's DC
# 102.54.94.102 "appname \0x14" #special app server
# 102.54.94.123 popular #PRE #source server
# 102.54.94.117 localsrv #PRE #needed for the
include

 165.226.94.2 W2K3Server #PRE #DOM:W2K3S
 165.226.94.2 "W2K3S \0x1b" #PRE
# "123456789012345*7890"
 165.226.94.2 "W2K3S \0x00" #PRE
 165.226.94.2 "W2K3S \0x1C" #PRE

Please let me know if I need to make any of these changes. Thanks
