Nice! I'm retired so I don't have to deal anymore with AD.

Thank you so much Rowland for such a quick and skilled advice
At a first glance I thought you misread my server 4.16.11 version, but after checking the 4.11.0 change log I learn this is where SMB1 was removed from defauts.
Reading you I hope I'm understanding correctly that my mistake was to beleive that name resolution when nothing around dns or hosts file is available relied on SMB1, which I thought *was* a synonym with netbios.
So now I guess I can fall back to removing too my NT1 things in smbclient, and also forget everything/everywhere about ports below 445.

I'll check all this when I get out of the surgical block if I ever get awake ;-)
I'll try with replacing wlan0 with wlan* in interfaces parameter because wlan1 is the interface for the hotspot, wlan0 being the one for the phone as LAN client, which won't have an IP when I'm in the fields.
And I guess the next step is to try with netbios name isn't it?
Have a nice day
