Oops, The last two I got wrong. They should be $ nmblookup -B steve __SAMBA__ -U Kellie querying __SAMBA__ on 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.120 __SAMBA__<00> and $ nmblookup -B Kellie-PC '*' -U Kellie querying * on 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.120 *<00> So they both give me the IP address of my samba server instead of the second one giving me the IP address of Kellie-PC -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
