SUMMARY
=======

If the ability of a network to resolve NetBIOS names is in question, or you want
to target name resolution as the network fault, the following technique may be
useful.

You can substitute the IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) for the Microsoft Exchange
Server Name in the Microsoft Exchange Setup Wizard or when adding a profile in
the Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT clients.

The Exchange MS-DOS client will not allow this substitution.
