I can't seem to raise more than 24 kbps out of Verizon, so even zIwethey is wait...wait...wait... But from the [link\|http://software.oit.pdx.edu/cgi-bin/hman-net?ManSection=1&ManTopic=nmblookup\|nmblookup] man page: nmblookup is used to query NetBIOS names and map them to IP addresses in a network using NetBIOS over TCP/IP queries. The options allow the name queries to be directed at a particular IP broadcast area or to a particular machine. All queries are done over UDP. If all goes well, "nmblookup w2k_box_name" should retrieve the IP address. [I recall from past experiments that you may have to specify the WINS server with the -U option]

Post #53,923 by drewk 9/30/02 9:51:36 AM Reply	Yup, that gets it So apparently I have everything running I need running. All that's left is ... how do I tell my system to use nmblookup when a straight DNS lookup doesn't resolve? ie: I try 'ping dkime-win2k' and it returns 'unknown host'. What next? Off to read the above thread and see if there are any new ideas. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]
Post #53,983 by folkert 9/30/02 1:53:21 PM Reply	You might try lwresd - a daemon for ligthweight resolvers And tell it to "cache" the info from nmblookup... it might work Of course if your could get resolv+ to use nmblookups itself... it wouldn't be a bad thing... `greg - Grand-Master Artist in IT, curley95@attbi.com -- [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry/\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!] Your friendly Homeland Security Officer reminds: Hold Thumbprint to Screen for 5 seconds, we'll take the imprint, or Just continue to type on your keyboard, and we'll just sample your DNA.`

It was a HUGE swag... but I am guessing from the Docs I was able to dig up... well it was a bit wishy washy and YMMV. If I can finger it out b4 you do... maybe we get it to work for you... BTW, those 4 hour meeting SURE are promoters of efficency... `greg - Grand-Master Artist in IT, curley95@attbi.com -- [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry/\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!] Your friendly Homeland Security Officer reminds: Hold Thumbprint to Screen for 5 seconds, we'll take the imprint, or Just continue to type on your keyboard, and we'll just sample your DNA.`
