Yes, workstations register the username with Netbios to be able, for example, to receive messages directed to a username. This is also why you should never name a workstation after the username, you may end up in conflicts. Netbios names can represent a number of things as they represent services not merely machines. In a busy network you should find user programs registering their own names sometimes too. > 2. in the linux without samba: eth0: 192.168.19.7 ("standalone") and for > samba4wins: 192.168.19.107 (standalone-wins) > > [globals] > netbios name = standalone-wins > workgroup = group > interfaces = 192.168.19.107 > bind interfaces only = yes > log level = 4 > nbtd:disable_broadcast = no If this machine does not have samba, then you do not need to restirct samba4wins to an alias, you can just use the primary interface. The ip alias trick is used to let samba3 run it's own nmbd daemon on the same address of smbd. I'd make a network trace and see if the request goes out on the wire and if any answer returns.
