netbios over tcp/ip on samba

[Pranay]

Hi Tony,

    What do u want to do exactly...??? Do u mean to say that u want to
send messages from Windows to Linux using a NetBIOS name of that linux
machine. If yes, do u want to send that messages by using "net send"
...??? or any other programme..???

Regards,

Pranay
