NetBIOS name lookup with nmblookup

nmblookup is a handy tool to lookup the NetBIOS name information on your network. If you want to check the NetBIOS name of 1.2.3.4:

# nmblookup -A 1.2.3.4
Looking up status of 1.2.3.4
PANDAEATSBAMBOO <00> - B
PANDAEATSBAMBOO <20> - B
WORKGROUP <00> - B
WORKGROUP
<1e> - B

And you can do a reverse lookup as well.

# nmblookup pandaeatsbamboo
querying desktop on 1.2.3.255
1.2.3.4 pandaeatsbamboo <00>
