[techtalk] smbclient and winpopup

[Subba Rao]

I am trying to broadcast a message to a Windows NT server. When I try to:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(0)subba9 at myhost:~ => smbclient -M NTHOST
added interface ip=10.25.234.4 bcast=10.25.234.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=10.68.42.10 bcast=10.68.42.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Unable to resolve name NTHOST

(1)subba9 at myhost:~ => ping nthost

I can ping NTHOST fine. From NTHOST, I can mount the samba shares onto the
explorer as well.

How can I send a broadcast Winpop message to the NTHOST? What am I missing
here?

Thank you in advance for any help.
