Hi! I have a samba file server (192.168.1.2) and wins server (192.168.1.2) with ~70 clients. The server's netbios names are ALMA and KORTE. The Workgroup's name is ALMA. Issue 1: -------- nmblookup -U 192.168.1.2 -R korte querying korte on 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.2 korte<00> nmblookup -U 192.168.1.2 -R alma querying alma on 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 alma<00> strange.... I can't figure out why the reply is different. In the log the only problem is: [2003/07/20 23:28:47, 0] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(109) register_name_response: server at IP 192.168.1.2 rejected our name registration of ALMA<00> with error code 5. [2003/07/20 23:28:47, 0] nmbd/nmbd_mynames.c:my_name_register_failed(40) my_name_register_failed: Failed to register my name ALMA<00> on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.

Issue 2: -------- smbclient -L //vogelburda I see lots of machine name's, and Workgroup Master --------- ------- ALMA KORTE But: nmblookup '*' querying * on 192.168.1.255 192.168.1.2 *<00> 192.168.1.5 *<00> Why only 2 ip-s (all machine is on subnet 192.168.1.x)? Thanks in advance!!! Nandor Toth PS. some lines form smb.conf workgroup = ALMA netbios name = KORTE netbios aliases = ALMA browsable = yes local master = yes os level = 255 domain master = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast dns proxy = no
