Does anyone know what nmdb is and what it specifically does, i believe it is name resolution, is it just for the computers on my network, so they can find me?
 
its the other half of the windows file shareing protocol :) I forgot what the letters are initials for...
 
well if computers on my network are hitting it, what does that mean?
 
is one of two services used in the samba program which allows windows and unix/linux pcs to share files/folders
 
so it i see a machine using NMBD on my mac they are connecting to it to use a file?

i have a program called little snitch and it was showing three machines hitting my mac.

here is a screenshot of the pogram,

They are just asking you what your computer name is and if you have any shares that are browseable. Nothing to worry about.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
