Well, this pop up on me a problem we have experienced with some
customers. They add the hostname/ip in hosts and/or lmhosts, but
forget to change the extension. W9x doesn't have these files
present by default, but there are hosts.sam and lmhosts.sam files
with sample content. Often one forget to change the extension to
none.
