I can type \\freebsd\ in Explorer to access the FBSD-machine. But how can i make FreeBSD use NetBIOS-names, so that commans like the one below will work? > ping winmachine I want my FreeBSD to resolve names this way: 1.) /etc/hosts 2.) NetBIOS names (probably managed by Samba) 3.) DNS How do i achieve this? Thx. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
