Hey gang, Shed some light on this problem would ya? I am using Samba 2.2.3a as a WINS server in my environment. When I was fooling around with Domain/Workgroup names, it registered all the trial names in WINS. These group names remain, but they are empty. I either want to flush the WINS server and let it re-register the Domains or hand-edit the junk out. Are either of these solutions possible? Thanks in advance for the help. Regards, Alan B. Moote Systems Administrator MARK IV Industries tel: 905.624.7908 fax: 905.625.6197
The wins info is in a text file called wins.dat you could try editing that.

Thanks...I found the file and edited it appropriately. Although...these
Windoze systems aren't noticing the changes.
Do you recall if there is a local Windoze file I should flush or change
regarding WINS data?

Yah...the WINS environment is well crafted. I know how things should work,
although I am not an MS guru. I have the clients getting their WINS server
settings through DHCP.
The "node type" setting you mentioned. I was looking around for that.
I
couldn't see it anywhere. (I checked for it on a Win9x PC, not NT/2000)
Anyhow...I appreciate the advice. Thanks again.

Don't know. Are you sure that the clients are set up with the correct
wins server (or at all)?
Only local file dealing with netbios lookup should be lmhosts but that
shouldnt be used when
using wins. Btw: there is a setting on "node type" that determines the
search order on the
client. You want "hybrid" which means use wins first, then broadcast.
