To enable lookup of WINS-names in Ubuntu, edit the file ˋ/etc/nsswitch.confˋ and find the line:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Append ˋwinsˋ to the end of the line so that it looks like this:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 wins
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
From now on you can also use NetBIOS names to address PCs in your LAN.
