Hi. I have a question about RFCs 1001/1002 (or maybe its really a NETBIOS question, I'm not sure...) If a node on the network initiates a call to a NETBIOS name which happens to be a group name being used by several other nodes on the network, how is the call to the group name resolved into a single session with a specific member of the group? Is it based on the first name query response received? Is this an error condition? The text of RFC 1001 says, "The NETBIOS specification does not define how a connection request to a group name resolves into a session. The usual *assumption* is that a session may be established with any one owner of the called group name." Note that my question is specific to B-node processing only (no central name server). Any insight will be greatly appreciated! Jason. /******************************************************/ /* Jason Nolet */ /* Systems Engineering - San Diego, NCR Corporation */ /* email: Jason.Nolet@SanDiego.NCR.COM */ /* Phone: (619) 578-9000 */ /* Fax: (619) 693-5705 */ /******************************************************/
