Re: HELP!!! need to get windows Computer name, workgroup via AS/400.

[bdietz@xxxxxx]

Ok, I got the source for nmblookup and am trying to compile it.  In the
meantime
I used the BINARY from the samba distribution and via the PASE environment
I was able
to get the windows computer name and work groups.
I did not have to compile the binary, just exteacted it from the tar.z and
ran it.


 > nmblookup -A local-170
   Looking up status of 192.168.151.170
   received 4 names
           BDIETZ98        <00> -         M <ACTIVE>
           ITS             <00> - <GROUP> M <ACTIVE>
           BDIETZ98        <03> -         M <ACTIVE>
           BDIETZ          <03> -         M <ACTIVE>
   num_good_sends=0 num_good_receives=0
