nmbd comes up fine, says he is listening on the main interface of the server. Client side, try to use Network Neighborhood to get to the server, bang, browser not available. log.nmbd shows it has tried to access the master browser on two ip addresses which were installed temporally to copy files onto this server, etc... Nothing in the configs point to these IP's any longer. Where is nmbd keeping this memory of former IP's for the server (local box) so I can reset it? I don't see anything in /var/lib/samba which sounds like nmbd memory. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.

[Samba] Solved -> Re: nmbd remembering additional eth interfaces...
Good old grep to the rescue. wins.dat was the file holding the old data. It had ever IP for this server ever used. I renamed the file with samba down, and all is well now that Samba is back up. Is there no auto refresh / purge for this file...??? Those NIC's are long gone, eth0 is all that is left. Multiple IPL's since their removal. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.
