Right click on Network Neighborhood, properties -> protocols -> properties
-> WinsAddress. If this is filled in there is a WINS server it is using
*before* checking DNS. There is also a spot in this tab for lmhosts files,
which also get checked *before* dns.
NT tries hostname lookups in the following order cache, WINS, broadcast,
lmhosts, host, DNS. However, don't know of a way to tell where NT resolves
the name from. I also don't think there is a way to change that search
order. (insert generic NT put-down here).
Perhaps an NT guru on the list know more?

Jarrett,
I could not use #nslookup hw3c3363.kdc.xxxx.com to find that machine.
Could you tell me how to check which method or in which order(WINS OR DNS)
is used to resolve name to ip on NT side?
Thanks a lot!
Andrew

Are you sure that the NT hosts are in DNS? It is possible they are using a
WINS server for the name resolution of NT hosts.
Have you tried a fully qualified nslookup?
# nslookup hw3c3363.kdc.xxxx.com
If you don't get out put from this, there is no DNS entry for this host in
this domain. If it works then you need to adjust your search path to include
kdc.xxxx.com in your /etc/resolv.conf
