There is no extra work required. It works as long as you can make the
TCP/IP hosts known to the participating machines. Make to host known
to your DNS server and enter the name in LMHOSTS or HOSTS (?).

You then can connect e.g. to a Win95 share by specifying the \\host\share
notation. You cannot browse though since this requires UPD broadcasts
being routed (I'm told).
