We are running BackupPC-2.0.2 on Solaris 9 using smb to backup XP laptops.
We use docking ports with our laptops. These have their own network card and
static IP address.
There are also builtin network cards with static IP addresses, the DNS name of
these cards matches the netbios name of the laptops.
BackupPC works fine when using the builtin network card, but when we dock the
laptop it fails with error "no ping response".
nmblookup is working ok. According to the manual it looks like it should
work out the IP address using nmblookup (dhcp flag is set to 0).
This is what I have in config.pl:
$Conf{NmbLookupPath} = '/home/samba_grubb/bin/nmblookup';
$Conf{NmbLookupCmd} = '$nmbLookupPath -A $host';
$Conf{NmbLookupFindHostCmd} = '$nmbLookupPath $host';
E.g. for laptop spook, IP address of builtin card is 194.80.190.76.
Docked into docking port dock39-16, IP address 194.80.190.68.
% /home/samba_grubb/bin/nmblookup spook
querying spook on 194.80.190.127
194.80.190.68 spook<00>
% ping 194.80.190.68
194.80.190.68 is alive
% host 194.80.190.68
68.190.80.194.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dock39-16.quadstone.co.uk.
Am I missing something obvious here?
