Hello.

Name resolution, via nmblookup. IP addresses are assigned via DHCP, so
subject to change. So you are saying that connection would have
established fine, but it tries to establish it with a wrong place?..
An interesting idea. Now, how can the result of the BackupPC name
resolution can be checked?..

Sincerely,
Maxim
