I should have copied the definition from the man page.
host: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using the system /etc/hosts , NIS, or DNS lookups.
Also, lmhosts is /etc/samba/lmhosts, and not /etc/lmhosts. The format is almost the same as /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.30 toshiba 192.168.1.31 thinkpad 192.168.1.34 mary 192.168.1.101 brother
But it is strange that it works for one host, and not the other.

[...] Yes, what I am doing conforms to what you say, and it is peculiar. Since I have it working, I'm going to put it aside for now, unless someone comes up with a new idea. Thanks for your help.
