Hello list How can I manually register a server in a Samba Wins Server ? I'm facing this scenario firewalled net in the DMZ Samba Box 3.0.25 FreeBsd 6 In the NET Windows 2003 SP1 The samba box is authenticating user against the Windows 2003 server. Of course the firewall is open for TCP 445 88 137-139 UDP 137-139 problems pop up for all NET RPC comands the samba box cannot find a Domain Server. Obviously it is because the firewall is stopping broadcasts from DMZ to Intranet. So I made Samba working as WINS server the problem is this The Domain server WILL NEVER try to register on the Samba Wins Server and I'm not willing to open Intranet to DMZ WINS comunications over the firewall I'd rather preferr to register MANUALLY and ONCE the Windows2003 server on the Samba WINS server. How can I do this ? I searched over and over in google, but found no clue at all.
