pysmb does not work on azure due to broadcast flag in netbios.queryIPForName #14

Closed bernieke closed 10 years ago

bernieke commented 10 years ago

On Azure broadcast messages are blocked.

This prevents the netbios.queryIPForName call from going through.

We've managed pysmb to work for us on Azure by changing 0x0010 to 0x0000 in nmb/base.py (in the prepareNetNameQuery method at the bottom of the file.) Basically just turning off the broadcast flag.

We don't know much (or really, anything) about the smb protocol, so we don't know if this is the right way to fix this.

In any case, what we would like to know, is whether a fix for this problem could make it into the next release?

@bernieke : Thank you for raising this issue. Yes, it was indeed a bug in pysmb. I have done a new release 1.1.11 which includes the fix for this.
