Hi, Just an ip address change shouldn't require any changes on the client, IF all the clients are resolving the netbios name via wins or dns, AND you update your wins or dns to associate the new ip address with the existing netbios name. OR if your server and clients are all on the same subnet, and they are resolving netbios name via broadcast. Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Jayanti Bodhania [mailto:Jayanti.Bodhania@maunsell.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 7:02 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Chnage of IP for the Samba PDC We are changing the IP address of our Samba PDC this weekend (hostname remaining the same).
