Hmmm...the things you learn with netmon and gdb :)

I was mistaken.  the problem PDC does not recieve an answer to the
DOMAINNAME<1b> query.  

-----------------------------
696       if(initiate_name_query_packet( p ) == False)
(gdb) print *p
$8 = {next = 0x0, prev = 0x0, locked = 0, ip = {S_un = {S_un_b = {s_b1 =
131 
      '\203', s_b2 = 204 'Ì', s_b3 = 12 '\f', s_b4 = 43 '+'}, S_un_w = 
     {s_w1 = 33740, s_w2 = 3115}, S_addr = 2211187755}}, port = 137, fd

     timestamp = 905356469, packet_type = NMB_PACKET, packet = {nmb = 
     {header = {name_trn_id = 3682, opcode = 0, response = 0, nm_flags = 
     {bcast = 0, recursion_available = 0, recursion_desired = 0, trunc =
0,
     authoritative = 0}, rcode = 0, qdcount = 1, ancount = 0, nscount =
0,
     arcount = 0}, question = {question_name = {
     name = "ENG-NT\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000", 
     scope = '\000' <repeats 63 times>, name_type = 27}, question_type =
32, 
     question_class = 1}, answers = 0x0, nsrecs = 0x0, additional =
0x0}, 
     dgram = {header = { msg_type = 3682, flags = {node_type = B_NODE, 
     first = 0, more = 0}, dgm_id = 0, source_ip = {S_un = {S_un_b = 
     {s_b1 = 0 '\000', s_b2 = 0 '\000', s_b3 = 0 '\000', s_b4 = 0
'\000'},
     S_un_w = {s_w1 = 0, s_w2 = 0}, S_addr = 0}}, source_port = 0, 
     dgm_length = 0, packet_offset = 0}, source_name = {
     name = "\000\000\000\001", '\000' <repeats 12 times>, "E", 
     scope = "NG-NT", '\000' <repeats 58 times>, name_type = 0},
dest_name = {
     name = '\000' <repeats 15 times>, "\e", 
     scope = "\000\000 \000\000\000\001", '\000' <repeats 56 times>, 
     name_type = 0}, datasize = 0, data = '\000' <repeats 575 times>}}}
-------------------------------

This is a general question.  This is a queued netbios packet to be sent 
from the problem PDC to the WINS server.  Why is the bcast flag set to 
0 but the node_type = B_NODE?



Thanks again,
