[Tfug] NetID to IP addy (AKA, that's what you get for not teaching in a while...)

[Sam Hart]

Actually none of them really work unless the system is online at the 
moment.

What I recall was something to actually browse the local hosts cache. 
That's what I need. I'm pretty sure 3.0 has it, but I don't recall if the 
2.x series does as well (we have 2.x here).

Also, man I was tired (working on a NetID to LDAP gateway for the Physics 
Dept) and I meant NetBIOS, not NetID in the subject... Heheh... Must get 
more sleep .....
