Hello Samba list, I lately noticed a strange behaviour : nmblookup MyPC returns the name & IP of the host using "MyPC" as netbios name. but, smbclient -L MyPC never connects as it returns an incoherent IP (some fuzzy public IP nothing to with the local network).
this is a fresh 2.2.3a install on RedHat 7.3. I could workaround this problem by inserting the netbios names into /etc/hosts, some sort of netbios/hosts resolution getting it straight. However I wonder why nmblookup gives the right answer while smbclient can't get it :p thanks for any suggestion/hint, 'caus I guess it is just because I ignore the exact way smbclient resolves netbios names.
