Hello, Is there *any* way to reliablily determine the NetBIOS name of a computer when you only know their IP address? I know it is very easy to find the IP address from the NetBIOS name, but I can't seem to find any way of getting a NetBIOS name from an IP.. James deBoer (jdeboer@scsinternet.com)

Any idea? thanks for help! thanks!

On Win9x I issue the command: nbtstat -a <netbios name> If <netbios name> is a Win9x machine I got the MAC address of that machine on the last line of the command output. If it's a samba server the MAC address is not returned: MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 Is there anyone who gest the MAC address back from a samba...

...ba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the cache with 'nbtstat -c'. This is what I have in my lmhosts file: 127.0.0.1 SAMBASERVER #PRE If I change the IP to something other than 127.0.0.1 then it appears in the NetBIOS cache. I get the following error message when I run the command 'net view \\samba...

I've followed step by step the HOW-TO in setting up Samba as a PDC and a WINS server, but when I reboot one of the WinMEs I can't log on to the domain immediately. I have to hit [Esc], enter MS-DOS and do c:\> nbtstat -R c:\> nbtstat -RR and close the no user session. After that if I'm lucky I can log on. If not lucky, I do it again and after the third time or so I get to log on. I did # tail -f samba.nmbd and I got this in the samba.nmbd when trying to log on and get rejected: Unique name r...

AFAIK that's true for the Windows 2000 client also. Now to the interesting part. When playing around with 'nbtstat' in Windows 2000, i found out that the windows computer fails to resolve the name of the samba server after it has locked up. After a couple of minutes, the name resolving starts working again. The network seems to be in two states, one broken (where windows can not find the share or trans...
