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

[Fatih A. <fth...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup backuppc on my desktop pc. I'm using Pardus Linux.

I've installed Backuppc from the sources and everything has been
setup. I can access CGI, and from the log's I can see that Backuppc
has  started.

But the problem is, i can't find the host. I've tried several method's
but none of them has worked.

My server's hostname is : fatih-pardus
My client's hostname is : samsung

I'm using dhcp to apply ip's on the machines. The ip's began with 192.168.1.100

Now the following commands give these outputs:

**********Pinging the client (samsung)******************

fatih@fatih-pardus ~ $ ping -c 3 192.168.1.101

procedure shall i follow ?
