Strange Domain Name...

[Isamar Maia]

Hello Folks,

Thanks a lot for reply, but....
It's turning really interesting... no solution until now...
Using linux, I cannot get to visualize the wrong Domain.. CEMNTER.
I got this only using Windows Explorer...

I tryed this:

HOST - Wins Server and PDC (NT4)
MERU - my linux box
CENTER - Real and Correct Windows Domain
I



./nmblookup -R -U 192.168.111.11 CEMNTER
querying CEMNTER on 192.168.111.11
255.255.255.255 CEMNTER<00>

./nmblookup cemnter
querying cemnter on 192.168.142.255
255.255.255.255 cemnter2<00>


 ./nmblookup -A 255.255.255.255
Looking up status of 255.255.255.255
        MERU            <00> -         M <ACTIVE>
        MERU            <03> -         M <ACTIVE>
        MERU            <20> -         M <ACTIVE>
        CENTER        <00> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>

./nmblookup -R 192.168.111.11 -A 255.255.255.255
Looking up status of 192.168.111.11
        HOST            <00> -         M <ACTIVE>
        HOST            <20> -         M <ACTIVE>
        CENTER         <00> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        CENTER         <1c> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        CENTER         <1b> -         M <ACTIVE>
        CENTER         <1e> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        HOST            <03> -         M <ACTIVE>
        CENTER         <1d> -         M <ACTIVE>
        ..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>

Looking up status of 255.255.255.255
        MERU            <00> -         M <ACTIVE>
        MERU            <03> -         M <ACTIVE>
        MERU            <20> -         M <ACTIVE>
        CENTER         <00> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
        CENTER         <1e> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>

        CENTER         <1e> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>


Maybe if I run my machine with the wrong name, I can find the guilty
machine.... what about it?

Ummm...

...and if you know the IP of the WINS server do this:

nmblookup -R -U <wins server ip> CEMNTER

If node CEMNTER is not on your local LAN then you'll need to query the
WINS server to find its IP.

...assuming that there is a local master browser on your local IP subnet.
The -M lookup *only* works locally.  (There's an interesting work-around
to this that Mike included in jCIFS.  jCIFS can query a DMB which, unlike
WINS, does keep a list of LMBs by IP.  That way, jCIFS can find LMBs even
if they are not local.)

The <1D> value is part of the name, and won't be associated with the IP.
The command below is good, though, and will send an Adapter Status Query
to the designated node.

Yep.

...depending upon the OS version.  Some Windows flavors do not add the
user name.  Annoying.

Good luck!
