Hi all,

I've spent hours looking through the docs, FAQ and mailing list archives,
and I still don't completely understand name resolution.

I'm running ntop 3.3 on CentOS 4.5. I have a 192.168.0.0/22 network,
with a mix of Windows PCs and Linux servers. I've tried running ntop
with and without these parameters, which doesn't have any effect:

  --no-mac
  --local-subnets 192.168.0.0/22

I've got a few Windows PCs in DNS, but they are not consistently named:

pc1
pc2.domain.com
pc3

For those PCs that are not in DNS, I see some entries like:

pc22 [NetBIOS]

But others are listed only by IP address:

192.168.0.22
192.168.0.45
192.168.0.104

I thought I understood that ntop will try to resolve IP addresses with
DNS first, then use netbios. For those PCs that show an IP address only,
I can resolve it with nbtstat on a Windows box, so I know the name is
available. Is there any way to config ntop to use specific dns/netbios
servers?

Can anyone help me with this? And/or point me to some docs that can
explain how to create a consistent configuration?

TIA,

Doug
