Description Kirill 2003-08-17 23:16:15 UTC
This bug appears always when the samba cannot find the other host (with samba 
also) through broadcast queries and must to resolve this adress through WINS.

It's normal? From this bug depend other bug - 298 (cannot find DMB from LMB in 
other networks)

nmblookup does not use wins unless you tell it to
(nmblookup -U <ip of wins server> -R -S name)
