I recently changed the IP address of my Samba server, when I had finished and all seemed well I could no longer see the server in the browse list of the win95 clients. I have all the clients configured using DHCP and all the clients seem to have the correct configuration and all function. I could not attach to the server using its netbios name, but I could using its IP address... net use . I have managed to get all the clients working by adding the server into the lmhosts file, and making it preload. The version of samba I am using is 1.9.18p10-3, RHL 5.2. Ideas? I have set it as master browser, preferred browsmaster, I have the netbios name in the config file.

I believe you need to delete the BROWSE.DAT and WINS.DAT files (under /var/lock/samba in RedHat) and restart smbd and nmbd. Of course, I could be seriously confused... **************************************************************** Stephen L. Arnold Senior Systems Engineer ENSCO Inc. email: arnold.steve@ensco.com P.O.
