On NT4 there's a setting 'use DNS for netbios lookup' (IIRC) which might work. AFAIK Win2k does not support this option. I couldn't get it to work with localhost though because netbios doesn't think 'localhost' is anything special (it has no concept of loopback) - it broadcasts for the name & every machine responds so you get the 'A duplicate name exists on the network' error. You could try putting 'localhost' in your \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts and see if that works.
