Tim,
I've been trying to follow your thread while doing my real job. Haven't
been keeping up as I'd like to.
I don't know if this is relevant, but nmbd listens to broadcasts as well
directed traffic. If something comes in as a broadcast, on any interface,
its source network info may be lost (Jeremy went through this with me
once).
