Thanks, but using 'addc' ($SERVER) instead of 'addomain' ($DOMAIN) 
doesn't help.

I've tried both with the same result:

$ ./bin/nmblookup addc
127.0.0.30 addc<00>

$ ./bin/nmblookup4 addc
127.0.0.30 ADDC<00>

 >>> from samba import netbios
 >>> n = netbios.Node()
 >>> n.query_name('addc', '127.0.0.30', timeout=3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
samba.NTSTATUSError: (-1073741643, '{Device Timeout} The specified I/O 
operationod expired.')

It's not a problem, we have a common goal.

I am probably not skilled enough to debug this issue when the Python 
module works in my LAN but not in the testing environment. Moreover when 
other tools are working in the testing environment.

Thanks for any help.
