You may have to edit the lmhosts file on the MSCLIENT machine, and

That file exists, but is empty. I added a line, and did
JMCCARTY@AMD586 Q:\NET> net stop
[confirm to log out]
JMCCARTY@AMD586 Q:\NET> net start
[successful login and start]
But it still cannot find that machine. A possibility I have
considered...
When I set up MSCLIENT, I gave the Linux box as the gateway.
Should I have done that?
I said that I can ping, and that's true, but not by name,
BTW. I use the (static) IP addresses.
The problem could be that the MSCLIENT is not finding the NMB
server, so it can not get a list of machines on the network.
This is especially true is you more then just the TCP/IP protocol
installed. For some reason, MSCLIENT does not do a good job of host
lookup using TCP/IP, and always seems to fail if you have other
protocols. This may be because TCP/IP is somewhat of an add-on to
MSCLIENT.
I don't think I installed NETBEUI or other protocol. I believe
I only installed TCP/IP.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
