second post. I have managed to get some browsing working with samba. I have followed the instructions to set up a wins server but my wins server is not working. it's not holding any names, it's not resolving any names. I can cat $sambahome/var/locks/wins.dat and see my hostnames (with other crap) but none will resolve.... well, I take that back, hosts will resolve on the SAME NETWORK but I can't do this WINS SERVER IP = 206.206.178.2 TICKER=206.206.178.5 that resolves NOMAD=198.232.139.5 that will not resolve. Scott ps: please... I just installed a new version of samba. does wins simply not work? pps: are the only ports that are needed tcp/139 and udp/137? not tcp/udp 138 ? Scott
First thing: This kind of question really belongs on the samba@samba.org
list. Many of these problems have already been solved by
others. The Samba-Technical list is intended for developer
discussions of technical issues regarding the CIFS/SMB/NetBIOS
mess^h^h^h^hprotocol suite.
I have taken the liberty of moving this thread to that list.
That said...

The key thing here is that WINS does *not* provide the browse list. The
two protocols are related only because browsing uses WINS for name
resolution. Sometimes. The only other connection is that Browsing sends
messages over the NetBIOS Name Service port (which is nasty, but it does
it anyway). That's UDP/137.
Beyond that, browsing is a separate protocol.
Are all of these 2000-odd machines in the same Workgroup or NT Domain?

There may be. I'm not sure. Lots of folks have asked.

Hi, Please CC me on all replies. I'm not on the list! This is my nmb.log and I don't know why it's not able to connect to a wins server. I ust Wins yes and _NO_ IP in the Wins field. On the W2k the Wins Ip is that of the server.

Anybody can help me how to add a static IP address with NetBIOS name for my
samba 2.2.5 on RH Linux 8.0
I've tried to modify the wins.dat and restart nmbd but it didn't work. I
couldn't figure out what are the numbers all about.
Pleaseeeee.... help!!!

Nazrul,
Firstly, we are working on a new tool to implement static WINS addresses
for samba-3. This tool may or may not make it into 3.0.0.
Secondly, given what you describe below you do NOT need static WINS
addresses.
Step 1. Make sure that samba is configured as a WINS server.
In smb.conf [globals]
wins support = yes
Step 2. Make sure all your MS Windows client get the WINS server address
_AND_ are set to NetBIOS node type 8. Example DHCP server config file:
/etc/dhcpd.conf:
----------------
option ntp-servers 192.168.1.1;
allow unknown-clients;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 172800;
option domain-name "world.org";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-dd-server 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-node-type 8;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.128 192.168.1.254;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
allow unknown-clients;
}
Step 3. Read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
http://samba.org/~jht/NT4migration/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
See chapters: 9 and 23.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Is there a way of viewing the current WINS entries which samba knows about???
Thanx in advanced.

Hello !
I have a database server running in a RH9 machine with two networks interfaces,
but the second interface (10.0.1.1) does only clustering with another server, i
have a PDC and WINS Server resident on a Win2000 machine. I had have troubles on
find my linux machine in a network neighborhood from a Win machine. So i
verified the linux machine registration in WINS server and i could see the
linux machine register points to eth1 interface (10.0.1.1 - The second
interface). Because this i can't find my linux machine from windows
machines.
How can i configure my samba server to register the first interface (eth0) in
WINS?
Thanks for any help.
