An AppleScript to look up NetBIOS names
Works like a charm. Wish I'd had this script or known about nmblookup 6 months ago when I was trying to find the IP address of a machine on our network at work that I needed to connect to. Of course, being a Windows-centric corporation, I had to hunt the info myself since all I could get out of the people who wanted me to connect to the machine was the NetBIOS name. Thanks for making this info known.
An AppleScript to look up NetBIOS names
You don't need a WINS server to lookup a NETBIOS name with NMBLOOKUP (although it does speed up things if it is there). NMBLOOKUP will query your subnet if a NETBIOS server is not present. Therefore this hacked version of the script will not work for machines on another subnet. Here is a hacked version of the original script for users in this situation (say if you are in a workgroup without a NETBIOS server). |
