similar to: Keeping a list of NetBIOS names on a network?

Is it possible to ask a machine for its NetBIOS name if it's running either Windows or Samba? I tried a few various nmblookup and smbclient command lines to no avail. I would like to be able to query a machine (by IP) and have it respond with its nb name. I've noted that if I perform an smbclient -L -I on a machine, it will not list its shares unless I get the NetBIOS name correct...

After giving up on trying to slim down smbtree, I've seemingly worked out enough of the NetBIOS and SMB/CIFS protocols to implement a bare-bones replacement in Python. At less than 500 lines, it's pretty easy to follow, though it's very hackish and badly needs a clean rewrite (which I'm working on now, in C). In the mean time, if anyone's interested, the Python code's

Hello, I am having enormous difficulty in getting samba to work correctly on the local network when the local network is on eth1. I have never had any trouble with samba when I used eth0...

Hello, This post is similar to what I posted yesterday '"smbclient -L host" to list IP addresses - possible?'. I have a PDC in one place and many workstations in different other places connected using WAN/VPN. These workstations have rather changing IPs assigned by DHCP. Sometimes I need to connect to these machines using VNC, for example, connect to machine AC-PC001 to

We're running an older version of Samba on an Irix machine, and just got 2.0.2 working (finally!) on our Intel/Linux box. The odd thing, is that findsmb gives different results on the two systms. On Irix it lists the NetBIOS names with OS descriptions, but on Linux it lists the IP name and no OS description. I went through it line by line and found the first difference at: ../nmblookup -r

Hi, Re: http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/samba/findsmb.1.html http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pb/NSLU2/NSLU2.html#S0500 Could you please advise whether or not "findsmb" should work on a WindowsXP machine?. *'findsmb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.* ** I'm trying to set-up a Linksys NSLU2 to run Apache, php and MySQL and am

In 2.2.8a days, findsmb would print the OS and Server version of the machines it found, like this: *=DMB +=LMB IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION --------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.168.49.247 WINQA1 [QATEST] [Windows 5.0] [Windows 2000 LAN Manager] 192.168.49.250 WINQA2

There has been discussion about using wget and curl to ping a server every 5 minutes or so to keep the fastcgi processes alive. I didn''t find a command line for this so I thought I''d post one. Put this in your crontab using crontab -e or your favorite other method: 0-59/5 * * * * curl -r 0-99 http://somedomain.com>/dev/null 2>/dev/null This hits the default page of

Dear, Good night and good Sunday everyone! First I would like to apologize because I am Brazilian and my English is terrible! I've been through this e-mail, humbly appeal to solidarity you have to solve a little problem that comes taking me sleep a few days ago. What happens is that implemented a Samba4 to the role of the AD Microsoft. I made this implementation using a Debian 7.7.7

Hi! Is there a NET VIEW equivalent in samba? I looked at smbclient -L but then I have to know the browser master. I only want to specifiy a workgroup.. Regards, Henrik

I made a somewhat deep check for time synchronization and I couldn't find what I was looking for. What I need to do is synchronize the clock on a Linux box to the clock on an NT server. I can't use NTP or any other protocol because the NT box doesn't understand it. Any pointers would be great. The second issue is that I need to do (if possible) a reverse NetBios name lookup by

Howdy people, How can i resolv a little thing that i have here. Why findsmb doesn't show me the computer if it is using the SP2 (win xp) ? I use findsmb alot. Jorge Bastos

When I try to Ping a server using it's netbios name it reports the following: ping: unknown host 'Tux' (or other netbios name) When I ping it using the IP address, it works fine. I can ping using the netbios name on my 2.0.6 Samba server (on another system). I can't find any relevant messages in the log file as to why this is happening (just requests from other systems to for name

Hello, If I wished to ping a windows machine from a Linux box _not_ using the dotted quad address, how can I discover their IP name (using their NetBeui name)? * DNS is not running locally, (does it need too?) * There isn't a local domain, I imagine we're using our ISP's domain name (we're running the lan segment off a switch connected to a DSL modem/router) * Windows and

Martin, Thank you for discussing this amongst R-core and for detailing the R-core discussion here. Some specific examples where having underscores available would have been useful. 1. My primerTree package (2013) was originally primer_tree, but I had to change the name to camelCase to comply with the check requirements. Using camelCase in the package name makes reading code jarring, as the

Hi All, I have a openvpn setup between two Linux boxes. The internal networks on each side are on seperate network ranges. I can ping all boxes from either side, and if I search for a box using it's ip address, I can see the box and access it's shares. What I would like to do however is to be able to see the the pc's in their workgroups (each subnet has it's own workgroup). I
