Yes, I didn't notice that you wrote
"\\CONDOR\NTC"
I use syntax like
'\\CONDOR\NTC'
It's so because shell interpretes some sequencec like \<some char> for
example \\ becomes \. To be shure, when you don't use single quotes you
should write:
\\\\CONDOR\\NTC
Double quotes doesn't stop shell from interpreting entire string. Your
example is working because your current shell doesn't interpret sequences
\C and \N.

It's simple file (like /etc/hosts) containing one IP and NETBIOS-name per
line, for example:
127.0.0.1 CONDOR
Its purpouse is to help find names that can't be resolved by dns, wins or
broadcast. Some hosts have different netbios and dns names.
