Windows can see Ubuntu netbios names but not access or even ping
...onf setup: lmhosts wins host bcast
If I use IP adresses all works fine so it's clearly a name resolution
issue
Also bind9 DNS is installed (don't know if this matters)
Problem:
Here's the funny thing: when my I browse the local network on my
windows machine I can see the server (called ubuntuserver1). So
somehow my windows pc can resolve the name. But when I try to access
it (by double clicking) windows complains it cannot find the name.
Also ping ubuntuserver1 does not work.
It seems netbios name resolution works fine for some applications
(browse) but not for others (ping, access).
This us...
