Hey Guruz A few lines from my samba.nmbd log: [2002/12/08 11:10:07, 3] nmbd/nmbd_namelistdb.c:add_name_to_subnet(245) add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name ABSTELLKAMMER<20> with first IP 10.1.2.18 ttl=3600 nb_flags= 0 to subnet 10.1.2.15 [2002/12/08 11:10:07, 3] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_query_request(480) process_name_query_request: Name query from 10.1.2.111 on subnet 10.1.2.15 for name ABSTELLKAMMER<20> How is that possible??? The request was produced by doing an nmblookup abstellkammer#20 form another machine to the wins-server. Result: nothing.... I can't see why, but this happens very very very often. Now my question is: - When does nmbd do an dns-request??? (it's configured as wins server and dns proxy, When I do a nmblookup nothing happens, when entering the same name in explorer it does send an dns-query) This is exactly the behaviour from above!
