Netserver problem

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I need help with NetServer.

I'm trying to connect to a 400 at work, from home. The connection is over
ATT Broadband Internet, so I'm definitely not in the same subnet.

I've put an entry for the 400 in both a HOSTS file and an LMHOSTS table on
my PC. When I run

     nbtstat -c

I get 3 entries for the system in question.

When I then run

     nbtstat -a magic

I get a 'Host not found' message. I get the same message even if I use the
IP address form

     nbtstat -A nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

I've asked ATT if they block NETBIOS. The fellow I spoke with says no.

Here's the results of the commands:

C:\WINDOWS>nbtstat -c


Node IpAddress: [24.118.96.196] Scope Id: []
               NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table

     Name              Type       Host Address    Life [sec]
------------------------------------------------------------
MAGIC          <03>  UNIQUE      nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn      -1
MAGIC          <00>  UNIQUE      nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn      -1
MAGIC          <20>  UNIQUE      nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn      -1

C:\WINDOWS>nbtstat -a magic

Host not found.
C:\WINDOWS>nbtstat -A nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

Host not found.

Any ideas?

TIA
