How can I determine the IP address of "somePC"

nmblookup is built for just what you describe.  It's part of the

Ah, "nmblookup -S somePC" works just fine. Thanks!


Then again, apparently not. The fourth octet appears to be wrong, so I 
suspect the address I'm getting is of some other machine along the way, 
perhaps a router or something.

So, -S doesn't work. -T doesn't work. -A doesn't work. -M doesn't work. 
(It'd help a lot if man pages were written to be read by mere mortals . 
. .  :-)

Any idea just what syntax I need to use before I run out of alphabet?

Thanks!
