samba - Aug 2003 - WINS Question?

I have setup my Samba server as a WINS server using the wins support = yes
parameter.

My remote network can see the Samba server at our head office fine.

I have also setup the WINS setting on my PC (W2K Pro box) to point to the IP
address of my Samba server.

When I do a nmblookup -R -U <IP address of WINS server> <name of my
PC> on
my Samba server I get this reponse;

querying pc1 on 10.1.1.251
wins_srv_died(): Could not mark WINS server 10.1.1.251 down.
Address not found in server list.
name_query failed to find name pc1

However, if I use the same command a query the Samba server I get this
reponse;

querying felix on 10.1.1.251
10.1.1.251 felix<00>

Why isn't my Samba server storing the NetBIOS name of my PC?

BTW, I am using Samba 2.2.7 supply by RH on a RH 7.3 box.

Hi
first yuo try update samba to latest from binary samba storage for redhat.
(before uninstal redhat rpms and backup config.)
Second check if two nmbd is running on samba machine.
And last your samba must be online and not restarted when yuo power on
client w2k machine to proper register in wins database. If not you must wait
long time to refresh and then only try nmblookup.

Bye.

I got the same message:

querying pc1 on 10.1.1.251
wins_srv_died(): Could not mark WINS server 10.1.1.251 down.
Address not found in server list.
name_query failed to find name pc1

However, if I use the same command a query the Samba server I get this
reponse;

querying felix on 10.1.1.251
10.1.1.251 felix<00>
