samba - Sep 2004 - suggestion to Samba-Official-Howto (name resolution order on Windows)

Dear Sirs,

as for Howto released with samba-3.0.7 (11th sept. 2004)

(page 105 of supplied PDF)

9.3.2 TCP/IP without NetBIOS

the name resolution order mentioned there is incorrect, because actual 
name resolution order depends on netbios-node-type

also, it is not correct to say "C:\Windows NT\System32\Drivers\etc",

%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\etc is correct

Cheers,
Ilia Chipitsine

When NetBIOS is not used there is no netbios-node-type.

But you are completely correct to point out that this documentation is 
deficient, it is important to discuss node-type and somehow that escaped from 
being documented - bad booboo on my part. Thank-you. It is being updated now.

Again, you are correct. This change has been made now. Thank-you.
