adding hosts to server

[Peter Foster]

hi
Cannot connect a windows machine to ubuntu server. problem seems to be that
hosts entered n /etc/hosts are not being recognised, hence no machine
account and samba cannot create account for hosts as they are not seen in
linux.
How do I add a computer ? all the info from Ubuntu & samba just indiates
that hosts should be entered into /etc/hosts file. Clearly this is not
enough.
As these are windows machines the host name is generally in capitals - does
this matter ?
