The LMHOSTS file maps IP addresses to the NetBIOS names of remote servers
that are accessible through TCP/IP. Entries specified with the #PRE keyword
are cached at initialization. When you use TCP/IP-32 for Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11, the maximum number allowed for #PRE entries is
hard-coded for 100 entries.
