wins? or what?
I found your message on the debian mailing
list and I would like to point out that you could use dynamic DNS. In that
way your DNS records can be updated from the DHCP server and your lookup
would work.

Question. I have several Windows clients in our network
you have to use DHCP. The DHCP server is a Linux server, which also acts
as the DNS server. However, a separate Linux server needs to know how to
resolve the NetBios name of one such Windows client (let's say his NetBios
name is ACCT).
If I just type ping acct. It won't find acct. If I type smbclient -L \\ACCT,
it finds it. I have tried changing parts of the smb.conf file, but I'm
not sure that that has anything to do with this problem (or does it?).
I can't put a ACCT entry into the DNS server as it's address is dynamic.
What options are there for me to get this Linux server to resolve ACCT's
ip address?
