Looking up Netbios name of host

[Brian Ryner]

Hi-

Ok, this is puzzling me.  I have two machines on different networks
running Samba 1.9.18p10.  On one machine, which is running Redhat 5.1, I
can do "nmblookup -A <IP ADDRESS>" and get the IP address of a host on
the LAN.  This network also has an NT server domain controller, but I
doubt that matters in this case, since I'm querying the machine
directly.

The second machine is running Slackware 3.2.  The same command, on that
machine, does not work except when querying the Samba server itself. 
All other machines give a "No status response" error.  Here is some
debugging output from that. The machine being queried is running Win95.
Also, any insight into the lp_servicenumber messages would be
appreciated.
