Hello, I am having problems getting nmbd to work as a WINS server. nmblookup fails, as lookups from a PC. If I turn the debugging way up, in the log.nmb, I see: [1999/12/20 18:55:26, 4] libsmb/nmblib.c:debug_nmb_packet(109) nmb packet from 160.101.120.62(44713) header: id=28190 opcode=Query(0) response=No header: flags: bcast=No rec_avail=No rec_des=No trunc=No auth=No header: rcode=0 qdcount=1 ancount=0 nscount=0 arcount=0 question: q_name=YOSHIKO<00> q_type=32 q_class=1 [1999/12/20 18:55:26, 3] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_query_request(466) process_name_query_request: Name query from 160.101.120.62 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET for name YOSHIKO<00> [1999/12/20 18:55:26, 9] nmbd/nmbd_namelistdb.c:find_name_on_subnet(137) find_name_on_subnet: on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET - name YOSHIKO<00> NOT FOUND [1999/12/20 18:55:26, 3] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_query_request(608) UNKNOWN [1999/12/20 18:55:26, 4] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:reply_netbios_packet(918) reply_netbios_packet: sending a reply of packet type: nmb_query YOSHIKO<00> to ip 160.101.120.62 for id 28190 [1999/12/20 18:55:26, 4] libsmb/nmblib.c:debug_nmb_packet(109) nmb packet from 160.101.120.62(44713) header: id=28190 opcode=Query(0) response=Yes header: flags: bcast=No rec_avail=Yes rec_des=Yes trunc=No auth=Yes header: rcode=3 qdcount=0 ancount=1 nscount=0 arcount=0 answers: nmb_name=YOSHIKO<00> rr_type=32 rr_class=1 ttl=0 This is a result of doing: nslooup -U usagi yoshiko Usagi is the samba server. It looks link nmb is never trying to lookup the host. The global samba.conf parameter are: [global] workgroup = TIBCO-TKY server string = Usagi Samba Server update encrypted = Yes log level = 9 log file = /local/samba/var/log.%m name resolve order = host wins bcast os level = 66 preferred master = Yes wins proxy = Yes wins support = Yes unix realname = Yes I am using Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 2.6. Previously I was using 1.9.16p2 on SunOS 4.1.4. This suddenly started failing in a rather strange way, after applying y2k patches to the OS. Sometimes lookups would work OK, othertimes I would get back an IP of 0.0.1.16 or some such. Not sure why that is either. I wanted to move away from SunOS anyway, so I'm not to worried about that problem. Thanks, Andy
