The 'windows' way to resolve names on a routed network is to assign
a common WINS server to all the machines. Samba can use WINs or
act as a server. The standard way to resolve names is to make DNS
work and either use fully qualified domain names or add the local
domain to your search list so a bare hostname resolves to the right
IP.
