+\fB-R <name resolve order>\fR
+This option is used to determine what naming
+services and in what order to resolve
+host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated
+string of different name resolution options.
+
+The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast".
+They cause names to be resolved as follows :

+\(bu
+lmhosts :
+Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the
+line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the
+NetBIOS name
+(see the lmhosts(5)
+for details) then any name type matches for lookup.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+host :
+Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using
+the system \fI/etc/hosts\fR, NIS, or DNS
+lookups. This method of name resolution is operating
+system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this
+may be controlled by the \fI/etc/nsswitch.conf
+\fR file). Note that this method is only used
+if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20
+(server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+wins :
+Query a name with the IP address listed in the
+\fIwins server\fR parameter. If no
+WINS server has been specified this method will be
+ignored.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+bcast :
+Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
+listed in the \fIinterfaces\fR
+parameter. This is the least reliable of the name
+resolution methods as it depends on the target host
+being on a locally connected subnet.
+.RE
+
+If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order
+defined in the \fIsmb.conf\fR file parameter
+(name resolve order) will be used.
+
+The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without
+this parameter or any entry in the \fIname resolve order
