12/19/1997 14:29:09 become_domain_master_browser_wins: attempting to become
domain master browser on workgroup COAA, subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.
become_domain_master_browser_wins: querying WINS server at IP 38.178.252.3 for
domain master browser name COAA<1b> on workgroup COAA
register_name_response: server at IP 38.178.252.3 rejected our name
registration of COAA<1b> with error code 5.
become_domain_master_fail: Failed to become a domain master browser for
workgroup COAA on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. Couldn't register name
COAA<1b>.
standard_fail_register: Failed to register/refresh name COAA<1b> on
subnet UNICAST_SUBNET
This system is supposed to be a backup server and the preferred master flag
is set to "no", but I'm getting the problem that I can't even
see the system
name in the browse list on the master and when I do a smbclient on this system
(an SGI) then it only shows itself in the browse list and the fact that it is
the master of the workgroup. Even when I turn off the options to have it
challenge the master servers it never seems to appear in the browse lists.
Any ideas?
