Backup Central

Hi all,
This error is beyond me. I'm a programmer, not a network engineer.
I've just inherited this issue.
Here is my command and the resultant output:

-bash-4.1$ /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v tim

NetBiosInfoGet: success, returning host workgroup, user
dump failed: host tim has mismatching netbios name workgroup

I'm running this command from the DataStore server which runs the dhcp service.
Within /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, we statically assign IPs by MAC address.
Unless he has changed his NIC (which he has not) he will always get the same IP

I don't get it?! What am I missing?!

Furthermore...

Everybody in the office is a laptop and so connects wirelessly.
Only the servers are wired into the router (which also acts as a WAP)

I usually see the host name returned first in the list from nmblookup
before the group name. I don't know if that is confusing backuppc or
not (or how you would change it...), but if you always have the same
IP you should be able to uncheck the dhcp option and use DNS or add
the IP in ClientNameAlias.

A quick google implies it might be related to 2 connections to the
network either 2xethernet or ethernet+wireless.

Thanks for your reply Tim.

I, too, have read this when 'Google'ing the error and have so far been ruled it out.
Physically, there are no ethernet jacks in the walls of the office, hence the WAPs
How does one determine if a device has multiple IPs?
/bin/nmblookup only returns the one address.

What does ipconfig /all on the windows machine say?
