It appears that netbios name resolution is not working from your BackupPC
server to your clients. Your choices are to debug and fix that, or to
configure BackupPC for DHCP. Have you configured DHCP correctly in BackupPC?

What is the value of the DHCP flag (2nd parameter) for the host entries in
your /etc/backuppc/hosts file? It needs to be 1.

What is the value of $Conf{DHCPAddressRanges} in your config.pl?

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Nmblookup doesn't find anything, host can't be
found

Hi,

I'm trying to setup backuppc on my desktop pc. I'm using Pardus Linux.

I've installed Backuppc from the sources and everything has been
setup. I can access CGI, and from the log's I can see that Backuppc
has  started.

But the problem is, i can't find the host. I've tried several method's
but none of them has worked.

My server's hostname is : fatih-pardus
My client's hostname is : samsung

I'm using dhcp to apply ip's on the machines. The ip's began with
192.168.1.100

Now the following commands give these outputs:

**********Pinging the client (samsung)******************

fatih@fatih-pardus ~ $ ping -c 3 192.168.1.101

You see that none of them shows my host. What can i do ? Which
procedure shall i follow ?

Thank's in advance
