It looks like you probably have a conflict between your WINS server
information and your lmhosts information. Thats why it works when
you use "name resolve order".
If you are using WINS you shouldn't need a lmhosts file anyway. As
long as all the machines you are trying to connect to are registering
with the WINS server.
