</div>I've found a (pretty ugly) workaround to the problem. Few websites<br>
mention the fact that NetBIOS over TCP/IP problems are related to this<br>
registry entry:</blockquote><div><br>I don't remember for sure, but I don't think you need netbios for cifs to work.<br><br>Try "\\ip.address\share" ?<br><br>If that doesn't work then I don't think the problem is with dnsmasq. If that does work, you may have to mess with dns settings on both client and server until "ping servername" works, then "\\servername\share" should also work.<br>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
HKLM\System\Controlset001\Services\NetBT\Parameters\TransportBindName<br>
<br>
which should be set to "\Device\". In my XP host this entry is blank.<br>
Setting it with that string and rebooting does the trick, even under<br>
DHCP NIC's operating mode. After rebooting, even if the shares are<br>
working properly and NteBIOS over TCP/IP is active, the registry entry<br>
is blank again.<br>
<br>
Thus, basically, I created a script changing that entry to "\Device\"<br>
whenever the system shuts down. Now it works, but it's a dirty trick.<br>
I'd like to know what's going on.<br>
<br>
Also, I've found this article:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B313314&x=19&y=9" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B313314&x=19&y=9</a><br>
<br>
which seems somewhat related, but I can't translate it to dnsmasq<br>
settings. Any help is appreciated.<br>
<br>
Other websites mention the fact that entries in the<br>
<br>
HKLM\System\Controlset001\Services\NetBT\Parameters<br>
<br>
are sometimes changed by worms, viruses, spywares and, in some cases,<br>
firewalls. Anyhow, the fact that manually settings the network<br>
parameters makes everything work leads me to the idea that this is the<br>
wrong way to solution.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
