This is the way it is supposed to be:
The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast and without any entry in
the smb.conf file the name resolution methods will be attempted in this
order.
Did you double check that the IP address is correct? I don't remember if
you could "ping abcd10". I guess it is possible that abcd30 is in
lmhosts, and abcd10 is not, and it is only checking lmhosts. Just a shot
in the dark - then again, I have made typos more then once when doing
this.

ping abcd10 works correctly. Following your comments I also tried
lmhosts -- it didn't work. I checked spellings; I did remove some
extra tabs from /etc/hosts . It looks like the order you indicate
isn't happening for the XP box. Very peculiar. BTW you are saying
"host"; I have "hosts". A typo?
