Either way it does not explain the weird routing. I merely tried the trace
without thinking too hard to see what addresses might be being used.
On second thoughts I suspect that file & print tries NETBIOS first and that
works so it uses it. I also guess it tries the lowest live NIC first. So that
*would* explain what appears to be weird routing - NETBIOS does not take any
notice because it is not using TCP/IP.
Problem solved - Well to my satisfaction at least. :-)
As NetBIOS over TCP uses NetBIOS for non-routed transport, and then drops to TCP when the need for routing occurs (which was the impetus for TCPBIOS, anyway, as NetBIOS is non-routable), this is probably what's happening. Again, I should have studied your addressing scheme in more detail.
Anyway, at least the mystery of empty iptraces has (probably) been solved. Is there a trace utility for NetBIOS which mimics the functionality of iptrace? I don't use NetBIOS on any of my client sites, so I'm not very familiar with the available tools.
