Thanks all for helping. I've just figured out where the problem is. On my client(which is ubuntu 8.04), i thought that Samba was pre-installed. But this is not the case, thus I've installed Samba trough synaptic. Now nmblookup is able to see my client, I've just started to take a backup. But i thought that for a Linux Client, samba is not needed? Am I wrong with this assumption ?
