Which type of database does a WINS server maintain to support its name resolution function?

A static text file that must be manually edited for each host

A DNS zone file that maps hostnames to IP addresses

A dynamic database of NetBIOS name-to-IP address mappings that is updated as clients register

A cache of recently resolved IP addresses that expires after a fixed time

A user reports that a Windows client cannot connect to a Samba server by its NetBIOS name, but can connect using the IP address. The Samba server is configured as a WINS client to a Windows WINS server. The administrator runs 'nmblookup -R SERVER1' on the Samba server and gets no response. What is the most likely cause?

The Samba server's lmhosts file has an incorrect entry for SERVER1.

The Samba server's broadcast name resolution is failing.

The nmbd daemon is not running on the Samba server.

The WINS server is not responding or the 'wins server' parameter is incorrect.

A network administrator is explaining to a colleague why NetBIOS name resolution is still needed in a modern TCP/IP network. Which statement accurately describes the role of NetBIOS in Samba networking?

NetBIOS is a transport protocol that replaces TCP/IP for Samba communications.

NetBIOS names are identical to DNS hostnames and are resolved using the same mechanisms.

NetBIOS provides a name service that maps NetBIOS names to IP addresses, independent of DNS.

NetBIOS is only used for file sharing, not for name resolution.
