Hi all, I got a problem with the name resolves with Samba 3.6.8 installed on a SLES11 x64 machine. The machine works as a domain master with the following configuration: --snip-- [global] workgroup = SAMBA netbios name = PDC server string = Sambaserver %v interfaces = bond0, lo socket options = TCP_NODELAY bind interfaces only = yes os level = 70 preferred master = yes domain master = yes domain logons = yes local master = yes wins support = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast max protocol = SMB2 -- snap --- There are multiple clients (WinXP and Win7 Workstations) in different subnets. The samba server has the IP 192.168.1.79, the workstations are in subnet 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.7.0/24. If I try to resolve a NetBios name (locally logged in at the Sambaserver), nmblookup always tries to resolve via broadcasts.

Or am I wrong? Regards Florian G?tz
