Hi again, I don't think is is an edge case, because many Windows PC will send those host announcement broadcasts. Here a short extract of the debug log:
Mon Feb 23 21:59:36 2004 DEBUG_CMPFCTN: lookupHost(192.168.10.11, 00:40:45:21:B3:5A, m0, f0, dev0) Mon Feb 23 21:59:36 2004 DEBUG_CMPFCTN: setResolvedName(0x0831d920) 0 -> 6 192.168.10.11 - hash.c(1140) Mon Feb 23 21:59:36 2004 DEBUG_CMPFCTN: setResolvedName(0x0831d920) 6 -> 3 ETHER - pbuf.c(663) Mon Feb 23 21:59:36 2004 DEBUG_CMPFCTN: setResolvedName(0x0831d920) 6 -> 3 ETHER - util.c(3065) Another host 'hung' in state 6 for a long time and was visible in the tables as <IP-Address>. Having sent the SMB BROWSER host announcement resulted in another empty table entry. Hope it is helpful Markus P.S.: 2nd try, don't know why.... ________________________ On Monday 23 February 2004 21:24, Burton M.
