[Samba] nmblookup can't resolve IPs (but SMB-names)

[Pascal Giannakakis]

Hi there, 
 
i have Samba 2.2.7a running on FreeBSD-STABLE 4.7. I set up a few things and
smbd and 
nmbd start up at boot, i can browse the net. 
 
However, nmblookup can only find IPs by SMB-names, but not SMB-names by IPs.
Here is 
an example output of the failed lookup: 
 
%nmblookup -d 3 210.104.1.133 
Initialising global parameters 
params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file
"/usr/local/etc/smb.conf" 
Processing section "[global]" 
added interface ip=210.104.1.133 bcast=210.104.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 
bind succeeded on port 0 
Socket opened. 
querying 210.104.1.133 on 210.104.1.255 
name_query failed to find name 210.104.1.133 
 
Why is it not working? We do not have a WINS in our network and it uses
default 
"lmhosts host wins bcast" name resolve order. I get the same output for any
IP in our 
network. Other ppl can see and browse my PC. 
 
Thanx. 
 
 
 
PS: here is the log of the working lookup: 
 
%nmblookup -d 3 KATWS_PG 
Initialising global parameters 
params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file
"/usr/local/etc/smb.conf" 
Processing section "[global]" 
added interface ip=210.104.1.133 bcast=210.104.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 
bind succeeded on port 0 
Socket opened. 
querying KATWS_PG on 210.104.1.255 
Got a positive name query response from 210.104.1.133 ( 210.104.1.133 ) 
210.104.1.133 KATWS_PG<00>
