Hi all samba fans!
I have one small question. Why all M$ Win (NT, 9x) clients can't ask WINS
server, when they can't resolve NetBIOS name over broadcas in LAN.
Situation:
- we have correctly set WINS server via DHCP.
- when i use for this same problem smbclient (with WINS server in smb.conf)
smbclient -L NetBIOS_name, then this one do this correctly via WINS
(where every comp. is registered)
- when i use "find computer" in M$ env. searching fails. NOT FOUND!
- now we solve this problem with LMHosts.
Can anybody clear this strange behaviour.
Is this bug in M$ clients?
Thx O.H.
