Hi, I'm trying to configure samba-1.9.18p8 to act as a wins server, to be
able to browse between the two networks here at work (192.9.200.x and
193.127.209.x). Calix, the server, has one eth on each network, and has
the wins support = yes. (No, it has no wins server = xxx line :))
It's been several days trying to make it work, and, with a debug level of
2 and 3 I've seen something strange: it's the talk log between sueno
(the
w95 client 192.9.200.140) and calix, the Linux wins server
(192.9.200.200). Enplater is the workgroup:
<<<<<-- cut -->>>>>>>

wins_process_name_query: name query for name CALIX<20> returning first IP

process_get_backup_list_request: request from NOVITA<00> IP 192.9.200.140
to ENPLATER<1d>.
send_backup_list_response: sending backup list for workgroup ENPLATER to
NOVITA<00> IP 192.9.200.140
process_get_backup_list_request: request from NOVITA<00> IP 192.9.200.140
to ENPLATER<1b>.
send_backup_list_response: sending backup list for workgroup ENPLATER to
NOVITA<00> IP 192.9.200.140
<<<<<<<--- cut --->>>>>>>
As you see, the WINS server doesn't tell the client that his IP is
192.9.200.200, the server returns *some* first IP, 192.9.200.0.
I think the problem is here. So, novita, the client, can't browse the
network (Windows reports "Network error").
More info:
- The client can use "net use x: \\blah\blah" to get shares,
the wins server returns the IP ok.
- The wins server is the domain master and local browser
(domain master, local master and preferrend master == yes in smb.conf, he
always wins elections).
Any hint please? Oh, reply also by email, because I'm not subscribed to
the mailing list.. Altough I had been much time ago X-)
