in thread How to make a WINS query using IO::Socket?

Unfortunately no...our ultimate goal is to be able to enter a username on the command line and retrieve IP addresss, machine name, etc. from that.

WINS stores the username and will display it (via nmblookup) if supplied with an IP address, but as far as I can tell no tools have been written to go the other way.

....I guess I will have to read the 1000 page RFCs - Gah!
