Everything else works, but "nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*'". It shows the servers IP address, unless "ACLIENT" can be resolved thru hosts/dns. Can someone explain me why? Samba 2.0.5b on Linux 2.0.36 name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast dns proxy = No wins proxy = No wins server = mywinsserver.mydomain wins support = No

I wouldn't bother finding why, if everything else works. -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it

But I still wonder why nmblookup doesn't complain about not being able to resolve the broadcast address you put after -B.
