I am new to unix, but have many years in dos and networking in general.  I
am in charge of a medium size wan.  All of the terminals are WIN95/98 PC's.
I have 10 remote offices, and I am in the process of installing and setting
up the unix application in those offices.  I am using the lmhosts file to
add the remote printers to individual computers in the net.  After adding a
number of them successfully all of a sudden after adding one more I locked
up the advanced print server.  I was told by my vendor that I can only have
20 lined in the lmhosts file.  This does not seem right.  I think that I can
set up DNS and/or DHCP but I don't know enough about them right now and need
a quicker solution.  Is there a way around the line limit in the lmhosts
file?  I am running SCO v5.

Please e-mail me with any possible solutions.
