NetBIOS LMHOSTS Tab
The use of an LMHOSTS file is optional. If an LMHOSTS file is not used, however, you
cannot use friendly text names. Instead, you must use IP addresses. This can be a
disadvantage because Web sites on the Internet usually use the DNS. If you register a
domain name for your Web site, users can contact your Web site by typing its domain
name in a browser.

The LMHOSTS file is read when WINS or broadcast name resolution fails and resolved
entries are stored in a system cache for later access. When the computer uses the replication
service and does not use WINS, LMHOSTS file entries are required on import and export
servers for any computers on different subnetworks participating in the replication.
IPX Settings Tab
Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) is the native NetWare protocol used on many earlier
Novell networks.
To be accessible from clients running NetWare, your server appliance must provide an IPX
address.
