BC> 192.168.0.0/17  192.168.128.0/17

That is als my setup (with other IP numbers as Barry) and when I try a
'nmblookup -B CLIENT '*'

I get the following reply:

added interface ip=192.168.1.2 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Can't determine ip for broadcast address 192.168.0.0
querying * on 192.168.0.30
name_query failed to find name *

Any ideas?
