Browse list synchronization occurs on these ports. nmdb is trying to fill
out the names of all servers/workstations in your domain. For an external
port, nmdb is probably trying to connect to your domain master browser,
YOURGROUP<1B>. It resolves this names either via your WINS server (wins
server = xx.xx.xx.xx) or your lmhosts file.
