I'm running my system with NT and Linux and Linux owns MBR.  Also have a
system with Win2K and linux and it works fine too.

Err.. everyone has different lilo config.

Generally the important parts are:

# Set LILO to go on the MBR
boot=/dev/hda

# My Linux Partition
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3
        label=Linux243
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only

# My Windows Partition
other=/dev/hda3
       label=WinNT
