namedquery.c timing question

[Christopher R. Hertel]

If I correctly remember the traces I was looking at last month, Samba and 
Wind/95 have different timeout values.  I *think* that there is .25 
seconds between name query packets from a Wind/95 box and I *think* that 
Samba uses a larger value.

I'll have to look at the traces again.  It's easy to generate, though.  
Just send queries (using nbtstat on Windows and nmblookup with Samba) for 
a non-existent name.
