Previously I wrote (abbreviated msg summary):

--------
Looking at traffic from the originating machine, on port 137, I see:
Source Dest. Proto Info
4 x { #Note: ISHTAR="primary hostname", others are aliases
for $HOSTNAME$ in ISHTAR, WEB-PROXY, CLOCK, WPAD; see {
Ishtar bcast NBNS Registration NB $HOSTNAME$<20>
Ishtar bcast NBNS Registration NB $HOSTNAME$<03>
Ishtar bcast NBNS Registration NB $HOSTNAME$<00>
}
Then 3 lines for $HOSTNAME$=BLISS (domain name), but with
suffix values of:
<00>, <1e>, <1c>
}
About 31 seconds later, I see some client interaction with some valid
and an 'invalid' (or potentially misleading) response(?):
Source Dest. Proto Info
Athena Ishtar NBNS Name query NB BLISS<1c>
Ishtar Athena NBNS Name query response NB 192.168.3.1
Athena Ishtar NBNS Name query NB BLISS<1b>
Ishtar Athena NBNS Name query response NB 127.0.0.2
At about 608.2 second intervals, there were 4 repetitions of the above
4 lines (when I terminated monitoring).
1st Observation -- There is nothing on the line indicating what the
parameter ERROR is that is being returned in the log
2) Should NMBD be 'advertising' to other hosts that it is a master
browser for 127.0.0.2? It seems it should limit that information
to any 'clients' on the host, but not broadcast that to other
hosts, as their 'localnet', if it had more than one host (i.e.
virtual hosts) would be 'local' to those other hosts -- i.e. I'm
not sure it would be a global NBNS for other host's "local subnets"
(which would be virtual 'vmnets', I believe...no?)
