couldn't "nmblookup -U wins.ip -R <ip-address>" gives back the name?
You know the ip address of a machine. You want to know the netbios name. You use the -A nmblookup switch. But there are the old win95's that have the known bug of port 137. You can shut down samba, be root, use "-r"... However: If you do nmblookup -U wins.server.ip -R <name> you are given the ip Wouldn't it be possible to do nmblookup -U wins.server.ip -R <ip-address> and get the name? Is this already implemented and I didn't notice or it impossible to do for some particular reason? Thanks. -- giulioo@pobox.com
