NmbDaemon starts the NMB server:

int NmbDaemon(NmbConfigData *pConfig);

Parameters

pConfig

A pointer do the configuration data.

typedef struct
    {
    char cIpAddress [32];
    char cSubNetMask[32];
    char cHostname [16];
    char cWorkgroup [16];
    char cDomain   [256];
   int   iPriority;
    }NmbConfigData;

cIpAddress     is the used ip-address of the server. i.e. "192.168.1.10"
cSubNetMask is the used subnetmask of the server. i.e. "255.255.255.0"
cHostname     is the used hostname of the server.
cWorkgroup   is the used workgroup of the server. i.e. "WORKGROUP"
iPriority          is the task priority of the server. (0 to 256) for default use PRIOTASK_NORMAL*4.
