Hi all. I've edited smb.conf file and configured wins server variable to the NT server of the network where is my linux box. When I execute a nmblookup command to find the NT server by the name it works. But it doesn't work with ping command. Is neccesary anything more? Iago.

Or is there anything that you can put in nsswitch.conf? :-| I doubt...
