  86 >It is an ASCII file containing one line for NetBIOS name.
  87         The two fields on each line are separated from each other by
  88         white space. Any entry beginning with '#' is ignored. Each line
  89         in the lmhosts file contains the following information :</P

  94 ><P
  95 >IP Address - in dotted decimal format.</P
  96 ></LI
  97 ><LI
  98 ><P
  99 >NetBIOS Name - This name format is a
 100                 maximum fifteen character host name, with an optional
 101                 trailing '#' character followed by the NetBIOS name type
 102                 as two hexadecimal digits.</P
 103 ><P
 104 >If the trailing '#' is omitted then the given IP
 105                 address will be returned for all names that match the given
 106                 name, whatever the NetBIOS name type in the lookup.</P
