I mean that there is a difference between an error reporting that
there's no such machine, and an error reporting that the named

that I've opened up a UDP hole I'm getting the latter.

# net view -L PRESARIO
No command: view
No command: view

However...

# net lookup PRESARIO
172.17.205.79

Which is indeed the IP for this machine.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
