Without the WinS server, you can use the IP instead of the name and that should work. It should also be able to use DNS to resolve it | NBP was not engineered to run over the wide Internet. Samba supports | NetBIOS over TCP, so it can be done, but: | | 1) The performance will be horrible due to Internet latency. | 2) You must have a WINS server running so the remote system can translate | the NetBIOS name to a IP name. I don't know of any WINS servers for UNIX, | not to say they don't exist. | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
