30.SH "NAME"
31nmblookup \- NetBIOS over TCP/IP client used to lookup NetBIOS names
32.SH "SYNOPSIS"
33.HP \w'\ 'u
34nmblookup [\-M|\-\-master\-browser] [\-R|\-\-recursion] [\-S|\-\-status] [\-r|\-\-root\-port] [\-A|\-\-lookup\-by\-ip] [\-B|\-\-broadcast\ <broadcast\ address>] [\-U|\-\-unicast\ <unicast\ address>] [\-d\ <debug\ level>] [\-s\ <smb\ config\ file>] [\-i\ <NetBIOS\ scope>] [\-T|\-\-translate] [\-f|\-\-flags] {name}
35.SH "DESCRIPTION"
36.PP
37This tool is part of the
38\fBsamba\fR(7)
39suite\&.
40.PP
41nmblookup
42is used to query NetBIOS names and map them to IP addresses in a network using NetBIOS over TCP/IP queries\&. The options allow the name queries to be directed at a particular IP broadcast area or to a particular machine\&. All queries are done over UDP\&.
43.SH "OPTIONS"
44.PP
45\-M|\-\-master\-browser
46.RS 4
47Searches for a master browser by looking up the NetBIOS
48\fIname\fR
49with a type of
50\fB0x1d\fR\&. If
51\fI name\fR
52is "\-" then it does a lookup on the special name
53\fB__MSBROWSE__\fR\&. Please note that in order to use the name "\-", you need to make sure "\-" isn\*(Aqt parsed as an argument, e\&.g\&. use :
54\fBnmblookup \-M \-\- \-\fR\&.
55.RE
56.PP
57\-R|\-\-recursion
58.RS 4
59Set the recursion desired bit in the packet to do a recursive lookup\&. This is used when sending a name query to a machine running a WINS server and the user wishes to query the names in the WINS server\&. If this bit is unset the normal (broadcast responding) NetBIOS processing code on a machine is used instead\&. See RFC1001, RFC1002 for details\&.
60.RE
61.PP
62\-S|\-\-status
63.RS 4
64Once the name query has returned an IP address then do a node status query as well\&. A node status query returns the NetBIOS names registered by a host\&.
65.RE
66.PP
67\-r|\-\-root\-port
68.RS 4
69Try and bind to UDP port 137 to send and receive UDP datagrams\&. The reason for this option is a bug in Windows 95 where it ignores the source port of the requesting packet and only replies to UDP port 137\&. Unfortunately, on most UNIX systems root privilege is needed to bind to this port, and in addition, if the
70\fBnmbd\fR(8)
71daemon is running on this machine it also binds to this port\&.
72.RE
73.PP
74\-A|\-\-lookup\-by\-ip
75.RS 4
76Interpret
77\fIname\fR
78as an IP Address and do a node status query on this address\&.
79.RE
80.PP
81\-B|\-\-broadcast <broadcast address>
82.RS 4
83Send the query to the given broadcast address\&. Without this option the default behavior of nmblookup is to send the query to the broadcast address of the network interfaces as either auto\-detected or defined in the
84\fIinterfaces\fR
85parameter of the
86\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)
87file\&.
88.RE
89.PP
90\-U|\-\-unicast <unicast address>
91.RS 4
92Do a unicast query to the specified address or host
93\fIunicast address\fR\&. This option (along with the
94\fI\-R\fR
95option) is needed to query a WINS server\&.
96.RE
97.PP
98\-T|\-\-translate
99.RS 4
100This causes any IP addresses found in the lookup to be looked up via a reverse DNS lookup into a DNS name, and printed out before each
101.sp
102\fIIP address \&.\&.\&.\&. NetBIOS name\fR
103.sp
104pair that is the normal output\&.
105.RE
106.PP
107\-f|\-\-flags
108.RS 4
109Show which flags apply to the name that has been looked up\&. Possible answers are zero or more of: Response, Authoritative, Truncated, Recursion_Desired, Recursion_Available, Broadcast\&.
110.RE
111.PP
112name
113.RS 4
114This is the NetBIOS name being queried\&. Depending upon the previous options this may be a NetBIOS name or IP address\&. If a NetBIOS name then the different name types may be specified by appending \*(Aq#<type>\*(Aq to the name\&. This name may also be \*(Aq*\*(Aq, which will return all registered names within a broadcast area\&.
115.RE
116.SH "EXAMPLES"
117.PP
118nmblookup
119can be used to query a WINS server (in the same way
120nslookup
121is used to query DNS servers)\&. To query a WINS server,
122nmblookup
123must be called like this:
124.PP
125nmblookup \-U server \-R \*(Aqname\*(Aq
126.PP
127For example, running :
128.PP
129nmblookup \-U samba\&.org \-R \*(AqIRIX#1B\*(Aq
130.PP
131would query the WINS server samba\&.org for the domain master browser (1B name type) for the IRIX workgroup\&.
132.SH "VERSION"
133.PP
134This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite\&.
135.SH "SEE ALSO"
136.PP
137\fBnmbd\fR(8),
138\fBsamba\fR(7), and
139\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)\&.
140.SH "AUTHOR"
141.PP
142The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
143.PP
144The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
145ftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2\&.2 was done by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
