Works like a charm, except for one.
(good query)
oxygen# nmblookup -R -U 192.168.1.50 jwilliams
querying jwilliams on 192.168.1.50
192.168.1.90 jwilliams<00>
(bad query)
oxygen# nmblookup -R -U 192.168.1.50 server
querying server on 192.168.1.50
name_query failed to find name server
The bad query, server, is actually the NT box at the moment. I took a look
at it, and it was originally not pointing to the WINS server. I entered the
information, but needs a reboot to go into affect. I'll have to do that
late tonight.
It appears it hasn't registered with my WINS server, oxygen. That correct
in my assumption?

Works as well:
C:\Documents and Settings\jwilliams>nbtstat -a jcwilliams

That look correct? I'm guessing so. Just thought i'd ask.
Thanks for your help.
