smbclient using WINS lookup on the same machine as the WINS server

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi,

I have put some mods into param/loadparam.c and client/client.c to allow
smbclient to set the WINS server to 127.0.0.1 if wins support is defined in
the smb.conf and the client is making the call.

However, while smbclient now sends WINS requests to 127.0.0.1, nmbd drops
the replies on the floor after doing the lookup as shown below ...

Luke, how do I get around this?
