Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I couldn't find it in the
mailing list archives, the faq, the included documentation, or the source,
so I figured I'd at least ask.
I'd like to query a WinNT wins server from my linux box, and find the
IP address of a machine that is registered there. Ideally, I'd like
to just plug that into smbclient. As it stands, when I type
smbclient //server/share, and the server is not on my local net, smbclient
can't find it. It doesn't appear to check the WINS server at all.....
Is there a utility I'm missing somewhere?
Thanks!
