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

There is an alternative solution. It is not elegant, but it works.
If the server is the GNU/Linux box, add the IP addresses of your network
hosts to /etc/hosts. There is a similar file in Windows XP and probably
Vista.
On the GNU/Linux host open /etc/hosts with your favorite text editor. Add
the following lines and save the file. I don't know what the IP address of
each host is, but I will use 192.168.1.1 for faith-pardus and 192.168.1.101
for Samsung.
192.168.1.1 fatih-pardus
192.168.1.101 samsung
In Windows XP, the hosts file is located at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC,
and the format is the same as Linux. The format is identical because the
hosts file system predates GNU/Linux and Windows and was adopted by each.
The drawback of this solution is: If your IP addresses change, you must edit
the hosts file on each (every) machine. Since your network is probably
small, you are unlikely to have a problem. If you do, the fix is simple.

I suspect your problem is related to backuppc not being able to talk
nmb to your windows machine. I think you need to look at the
firewall/filtering on the windows machine, and also ensure file/print
sharing is enabled. Follow those basics, if you can, make sure you can
see it from another windows machine before getting back to backuppc.
Hope that helps.

Adam
