This is some places where the problem was discussed: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ping-netbios-names-from-linux-samba-271336/ http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/integrate-ms-networks.html ("Name Resolution in a Pure UNIX/Linux World" section, "/etc/nsswitch.conf" subsection). In short, the secret solution is simple. User should do the next steps. 1. Open /etc/nsswith.conf and find the line like this: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 The word "wins" should be added to the end of this line: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 wins 2. Install "winbind" package. After this I can access Windows machines by names in my home network. (By the way, my router is D-Link DIR-320, you asked this). I suppose that at this time my GNU/Linux machine translates Windows names to IP adresses with broadcast requests (without using WINS server, just like mDNS). But I am not sure.
