nbtstat -A = ????
 

If I'm looking for the netbios name of the machines on my network I use netbios -A x.x.x.x at an NT command line prompt and get:

C:\>nbtstat -A x.x.x.x

DATAMAN <03> UNIQUE Registered

GHOST6 <03> UNIQUE Registered

DATAMAN <01> UNIQUE Registered



MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00

What is the equivalent for linux? :Pengy:

study samba manual
i do not remember exactly but above means the following:
<00> - the machine is just in the network
<20> - the machine gives a disk or printer share
<03> - the machine is running a messanger (f.ex. WinPopup)
<01> - the machine is a master browser

Thanks Dorian but I'm looking for the equivalent of the NBTSTAT command for Linux/samba. My message was a little confusing, I apologize.
