Hello everybody, I am new to the list, so please forgive me if I break any rules in my message. I searched everywhere I could to find the answer and this is my last resort. I have the following problem, which is bothering me very much: I am using Samba as a WINS server and it works fine for everybody, except for "road warriors" who work with their laptops on local LAN, but also connect with the same laptop through VPN. Once a "road warrior" connects through VPN, Samba caches VPN IP address in wins.dat file and when same laptop is connected back to our LAN, Samba fails to update it's IP and keeps returning VPN IP. The only way I can solve this is: stop Samba server, manually delete VPN IP from wins.dat, start Samba server. OS: RedHat Linux 7.3 Samba Version: 3.0.0 -- Best regards, Anthony mailto:tony@electrinet.com
