I have compiled the latest source acquired from the SAMBA Web page to run on AIX 4.2. For some reason my WINS client just isn't working. I verify that the NetBIOS names and IP addresses are in the NT WINS server's tables. I verify that the WINS server's IP address is appropriately configured in smb.conf. I run testparms and all is OK. I executed two commands with no change in output. The commands were: nmblookup -d 9 -B 167.132.136.187 ncsc_9a221 nmblookup -d 9 ncsc_9a221 The output of each command is as follows: Initialising global parameters Processing configuration file "/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf" Processing section "[global]" doing parameter workgroup = SLMO doing parameter server string = slgo1787 doing parameter hosts allow = 167.132. 127. doing parameter guest account = nobody doing parameter log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m doing parameter max log size = 50 doing parameter security = share doing parameter socket options = TCP_NODELAY doing parameter local master = no doing parameter domain controller = slgo5624 doing parameter wins server = 167.132.136.187 pm_process() returned Yes lp_servicenumber: couldn't find homes lp_servicenumber: couldn't find printers lp_servicenumber: couldn't find printers adding IPC service Netmask for tr0 = 255.255.255.128 Derived broadcast address 167.132.136.127 Added interface ip=167.132.136.28 bcast=167.132.136.127 nmask=255.255.255.128 bind succeeded on port 0 Socket opened. Sending queries to 167.132.136.127 12/08/97 09:53:33 sending a packet of len 50 to (167.132.136.127) on port 137 12/08/97 09:53:33 sending a packet of len 50 to (167.132.136.127) on port 137 12/08/97 09:53:33 sending a packet of len 50 to (167.132.136.127) on port 137 name_query failed to find name ncsc_9a221 I am quite perplexed, and would greatly appreciate assistance pertaining to how to get the WINS client function working.
