Problems with nmblookup

[John Rooke]

I have noticed this broadcast too. I thought the default was to look at the
hosts table.

I attach my smb.conf to see if anyone can see what is wrong. I have set wins
support and dns proxy and it still seems to insist on a broadcast to resolve
netbios names. I have even tried it with the name resolve order = lmhosts
host wins bcast and this makes no difference!

What is wrong with it?
