[Esh, Andrew]

Why not use nmblookup to translate the IP address into the netbios name?

[root at pluto bin]# nmblookup -U 10.105.102.26 -T '*'
querying * on 10.105.102.26
esh.tricord.com, 10.105.102.26 *<00>

My machine name is 'ESH'.

[root at pluto bin]# echo "Hi there" | smbclient -M ESH
added interface ip=10.105.102.25 bcast=10.105.103.255 nmask=255.255.252.0

Dear Sirs,

I want to make the smbclient code work with some other application, so
that I can easily send winpopup messages to some windows machines. The
problem is that we have diffrent C-classes, and we would like to send
the message based on the IP address and not the NetBios name.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks in advance.
Eugen.

Here is some smbclient debugging output:
