My LAN has a single linux/samba server as a PDC/file server, and several
windows workstations. The workstations get their IP addresses from a Linksys
cable router DHCP server.
I can't get the linux machine to resolve the NETBios names of the windows
machines.
>From the Linux machine I can see the Internet through the DSL router, I can
ping the windows machines by IP address, but "ping NETBiosname" returns
"Unknown host NETBiosname", and "nmblookup NETBiosname" returns "name_query
failed to find name NETBiosname"
The windows machies have 192.168.0.99 added as a WINS server in their LAN
configuration, otherwise they are just straight DHCP clients, and they can
see the Linux machine as well as each other by name.
The PDC is running Suse 10, and Samba 3.
