samba - Oct 2002 - How to configure server smb.conf and client Windows NT under auto DHCP obtain IP address?

Samba server runs Redhat Linux7.3, smb rpm is samba-2.2.6-1.i386.rpm.
Samba server and Client NT4 locate in the same LAN, both automatic 
obtain IP address from DHCP. Samba server host name: dhcp093. Client name:
steven
    On the Server file: /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 dhcp093.in1.domain dhcp093(domain
represents
my company domain server name). But I use command /sbin/ifconfig eth0, 
I found inet addr: 129.202.0.93.
    Client: use ipconfig : 129.202.0.133.
    Shall I modify my /etc/hosts as 129.202.0.093 dhcp093.in1.domain dhcp093  ??
    I configured both server smb.conf and client with the same group name,
and with same user name and password, and share a directory for the defined
user.
    But the problem is: 
1.   On client Neibourhood, I can see the Server computer,
      but I can not browse it. 
2.    I use command on samba server "nmblookup -B 129.202.0.255
dhcp093". (129.202.0.255 is the
broadcast address). Event is" querying dhcp093 name failed". But I use
command on samber server
"nmblookup -b 129.202.0.255 steven" is successful.
     Can you explain these? How to configure server smb.conf and client Windows
NT ?
         Thanks a lot!!

Inacceptable for a server. Make your sysadmin reserve a constant IP
for your server.
The "dhcp093" probably will change also with every new lease.
You have to use "netbios names" instead, they should not be changed
by dhcp.
