Problems with nmblookup

Hi all,

I've nearly got everything working here with our SuSE Linux 6.0 based
samba 2.1-prealpha PDC and NTW4.0 network. The only remaining problem is
I can't connect to shares on a NTW4.0 PC called john. All other PC's on
the network are OK.

I have traced this down to a problem with WINS in that if I do a
nmblookup -d20 john I get the output below.

I have wins support = Yes and dns proxy = Yes in smb.conf and can ping
john OK from the Linux server. It seems to be something to do with
NetBios names.

Any suggestions as to how I can fix this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John.
