NetBIOS name service


To provide reliable Windows nameservice we are using the nmbd software from Samba running on FreeBSD. Here is the smb.conf.

A proper NetBIOS configuration for systems at the Virginia Campus is 128.164.24.1 and P-type. This is automatic if you use DHCP.

The computer name should be chosen carefully, most computers will belong to the Virginia-Campus Workgroup. Here is a list of the sanctioned Workgroups to join:

Note: It seems there is no interest in calling the campus Loudoun-dulles, the Loudoun-dulles workgroup name was changed to Virginia-Campus.
