If the host has a fixed IP address, it's much better to use that. You
can use whatever host name you want, and set $Conf{ClientNameAlias} to
its IP address.

Ok Craig, I'll try /ClientNameAlias/, Ip adddress are fixed by the
Internet provider box.
CAn you tell me what should be the nmblookup output ?
Cheers.

[BackupPC-users] netbios name not retrieved
Hello all, I'm just beginning with BackupPc, my main goal is to backup the single Linux smb server of a brand new small company and when it will be ok, then I will try to save some Windows 10 laptops. Well, both smb server and BackupPc server are running Centos 7. I've installed the whole stuff using "/yum install backuppc/" and I'm just trying to use it by now. I've got a problem with the netbios name and the way BackupPc is supposed to find hosts : - I've read that i/f gethostbyname() fails, BackupPC then attempts a NetBios multicast to find the host/ - running by hand "/nmblookup/" on the BacpupPc side runs well, the result is as follows : nmblookup myshare 192.168.1.10 myshare <00> - so I guess all is ok. Unfortunately, if I add a host with the netbios name, it does not work at all If I add the same host using his IP address, then it works fine ! Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
