Find the IP address for an SMB share
If you’re able to connect to a folder on a Windows SMB share via smb://beigeboxname, you can find its IP address via nmblookup beigeboxname. Handy as Remote Desktop Connection doesn’t seem to be able to lookup the machine by that same name.
thnaks! Works on os x too.
