I am using Samba release 3.0.7-2 on a Fedora Core 2 box. I am unable to
receive proper name resolution for a machine because my client seems to be
requesting resolution for the machine by its workstation service aliased
name rather than its file server registered name. Here are the machines
registered names:
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
INet~Services <1C> GROUP Registered
IS~LIGHTTYPERDT<00> UNIQUE Registered
LIGHTTYPERDT <00> UNIQUE Registered
LIGHTTYPERDT <03> UNIQUE Registered
DNASEQ <00> GROUP Registered
IWAM_LIGHTTYPER<03> UNIQUE Registered
DNASEQ <1E> GROUP Registered
LIGHTTYPERDT <20> UNIQUE Registered
DNASEQ <1D> UNIQUE Registered
..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered
A Windows machine (or OS X) will try to resolve it will broadcast a request
like this (using the fileserver name):
Name query NB LIGHTTYPERDT<20>
The Linux box will try to resolve it this way (using the workstation service
alias, instead of the fileserver name):
Name query NB IS~LIGHTTYPERDT<20>
This, of course, doesn't resolve because it doesn't exist. Has anyone
else
seen this behavior or know of a remedy? In case it matters, I'm sniffing
the packets using Ethereal. Thanks for any advice anyone can throw my way!
