Hello Samba list,
I lately noticed a strange behaviour :
nmblookup MyPC
returns the name & IP of the host
using "MyPC" as netbios name.
but,
smbclient -L MyPC
never connects as it returns an incoherent IP
(some fuzzy public IP nothing to with the local
network).
this is a fresh 2.2.3a install on RedHat 7.3.
I could workaround this problem by inserting
the netbios names into /etc/hosts, some sort
of netbios/hosts resolution getting it straight.
However I wonder why nmblookup gives
the right answer while smbclient can't get it :p
thanks for any suggestion/hint, 'caus I guess
it is just because I ignore the exact way smbclient
resolves netbios names.
Ahmed RAHAL.
