If you take a look at /etc/ppp/options you can specify a 'wins-addr'
option which should give your win95 dialup clients the right WINS
addresses. Last time I checked NT had some problems with getting the
assignment, but that might have changed since I last used it (about 1 year
ago). You can also specify the dns addresses in a similar manner -- take
a look at the file. The advice given in a follow-up to your email about
having the clients log on to the NT domain is also correct (as is the rest
of it -- this might just help make things smoother).
