One thing I wanted to point out is that NetBIOS style connections, like
shared folders, are usually more overhead intensive than straight TCP
communication would be. Also, if you're on a good network, you can
resolve by name rather than ip, making maintenance easier, rather than
having to change the ip reference in your program if the host machine is
replaced, get's a new NIC, or is otherwise messed with. It all depends
on how you want to do it, and what fits your needs/environment.
