Hi, I have problem when trying to run command: net rpc join ... problem: After I run nmbd I run the command and see error: Unable to find a suitable server I see nmbd logs: ---------- find_workgroup_on_subnet: workgroup search for AD on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET: found. retransmit_or_expire_response_records: timeout for packet id 21674 to IP A.B.C.D on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET wins_registration_timeout: WINS server A.B.C.D timed out registering IP X.X.X.X wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead retransmit_or_expire_response_records: timeout for packet id 21675 to IP A.B.C.D on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET wins_registration_timeout: WINS server A.B.C.D timed out registering IP X.X.X.X wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead retransmit_or_expire_response_records: timeout for packet id 21676 to IP A.B.C.D on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET wins_registration_timeout: WINS server A.B.C.D timed out registering IP X.X.X.X wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead retransmit_or_expire_response_records: timeout for packet id 21677 to IP A.B.C.D on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET wins_registration_timeout: WINS server A.B.C.D timed out registering IP X.X.X.X wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead retransmit_or_expire_response_records: timeout for packet id 21678 to IP A.B.C.D on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET wins_registration_timeout: WINS server A.B.C.D timed out registering IP X.X.X.X wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead wins_srv_is_dead: A.B.C.D is dead ---------- However, after a while re-running net rpc (same command) as above works ! Is there a timeout that I can configure in smb.conf file or such to reduce the delay ? Any suggestions/pointers, please email me. Thank you very much. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo! HotJobs http://hotjobs.sweepstakes.yahoo.com/careermakeover
