We don't run the WINS service on our network. We have no Win9x or earlier clients. All clients are Windows XP.
However, to answer your question this is what I get on the server when I run the nmblookup nmblookup admin1: creating lame upcase table creating lame lowcase table querying admin1 on x.x.y.y x.x.n.n admin1<00> nmblookup <client name>: creating lame upcase table creating lame lowcase table querying admin1 on x.x.y.y x.x.a.a <client name><00> nmblookup doesn't work on Windows XP. Thanks again!
