Here is my scenario when a client wants to resolve a name on my local network: CLIENT --> VPN --> SAMBA --> DNS The client is set up like so: DNS1 = ISP DNS1 (204.26.64.1) DNS2 = ISP DNS2 (204.26.80.3) WINS1 = my samba1 (10.10.1.5) WINS2 = my samba2 (10.10.1.8) This all _seemed_ to have worked 3 days ago for roughly 6 months but stopped suddenly without me doing anything. When the client requests a name on my local network like atlas (10.10.1.8), there is no resolution at all. My first reaction was there was a firewall change or something, but that is not the case. 1) How can I see if requests are getting to the samba server for dns queries? 2) Is my thinking correct about DNS proxy? Here is the relevant parts of my smb.conf: wins support = yes wins proxy = no dns proxy = yes Thank you for your help! -- Terry Davis http://approbation.org/
Another note, DNS directly from the client to my dns servers works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dont you think you should have ur dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf not wins servers or if you gave wrong ips to me, then you should change conf file to reflect that -----Original Message----- From: Terry Davis [mailto:tdavis@approbation.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 4:30 PM To: Javid Abdul-AJAVID1 Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: RE: [Samba] Re: DNS Proxy - WINS problem - please help /etc/resolv.conf: domain domain.com nameserver 10.10.1.5 nameserver 10.10.1.8 search domain.com samba-2.2.4 Redhat 7.2 The DNS servers are on the same subnet as the samba server.

Hi, I've also been having a problem with Samba and VPN, but have been noticing something different about it. It works fine for a similarly configures Solaris 8 box, but will not work on a RedHat 7.2. It looks like it is some kind of networking problem. When I connect via VPN with a Win2k dial up box, and try to access the server (after jumping over the port 445 problem), I'll get a string of attempted connections to the server. On the server's netstat I'll see a list of TIME_WAIT's for connections going to port 445. On the Win2k box, the netstat will also show that a series of connections are made, and that each are ESTABLISHED. I've tried this with 2.0.6 and 2.2.4 with the same results. Once again it works on Solaris with 2.0.6. I'm going to try running the connections through xinet, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, Charlie>MY DNS servers are the same as my WINS servers. For strange reasons, I >cannot configure my clients to use my dns servers, they must use WINS. >WINS will resolve hostnames like foobar, dns will also but the only time >they need to resolve FQDN's are for addresses out of my network, so I >want to have them use their ISP's DNS in case my DNS servers are not >available.
