You could try installing tmdns (It's a lightweight dns for tiny LANs.)and
point your windows dns to 127.0.0.1. The question is what point dns on a
192.168 lan?
Most of the windows network configs I've seen are a jumble of netbios,
netbeui, QoS, netware and every other service and protocol ppl throw at the
system. Just use TCP/IP and nothing else. Windows is stupid enough as it is
without complicating it with bolt-ons that confound it ad infinitum.
