This problem is still unsolved.
The host names of windows PCs are not visible to Linux programs with a regular
installation of Samba,
i.e. from Linux 'ping win_pc' does not work, but from windows 'ping linux_pc'
does work.
Also, 'nmblookup win_pc' works, while 'nslookup win_pc' does not work.
+1 ...this is an aggravating manual step every time I setup a new
ubuntu machine among a myriad of windows boxes. If we are going to
supplant the dominant OS, we have to be able to interact with it as
seamlessly as possible.

cannot resolve windows host name
I agree that resolving windows names should happen by default (and while
outside the scope of this bug, 2 fresh ubuntu installs on the same LAN
should really also resolve each others names).

Geez. I agree. This should be fixed. Thanks to the reporter of this, and the
supplied fix.
But as the reporter said, I can't believe this is not considered to be
necessary to be made default for ubuntu. If Ubuntu is to 'just work', users
will want this already in place.

Thanks Steve, I was not aware of the options.
So far winbind appears to be working good on my LAN...and until it works
do not fix it :)

Actually if I go to Windows and do
ping Windows Host Name
it works, and if I do
ping Linux Laptop Name
it works too.
IMHO I think that most, if not all, Ubuntu users will sooner or later
plug their laptop into a LAN and they will expect to see other PCs,
hence this bug somehow will need to
The description in this bug report is complete; it is a request to
enable the WINS NSS module by default.
However, I'm going to have to mark this bug 'wontfix', because the
nss_wins module isn't mature enough to enable it by default, and using
it can cause recursion problems for apps in a variety
Just to be clear.
Are you suggesting that to have my Ubuntu laptop to connect to my
Windows desktop on my 3 PC LAN, I've to setup an internal DNS server?
Or do I miss something?

This is because using 'ping host' attempts to look up a host using
DNS. Using 'smb://host/' uses lmhosts. If you were to go to Windows
and type 'ping host' it would fail the same way.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue
for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Also, could you let
us know
