I am running RedHat V9.0 with SAMBA v2.2.7a-8.9.0 on both servers that are involved. We have a fairly small network ( 500+ Nodes ) ( Mixed environment Windows 2K - XP ). SMB/NMB server. ( RedHat V9.0 / SAMBA v2.2.7a-8.9.0 ) acting as stand-alone server: ( wins support = yes ) ( IP = X.X.X.2 ) NMB server ( RedHat V9.0 / SAMBA v2.2.7a-8.9.0 ) configured as a wins proxy. ( wins support = no, wins server = X.X.X.2, wins proxy = yes ) ( IP = Y.Y.Y.3 ) If I have a machine with samba as in NMB Server above, should it forward wins requests from Y.Y.Y.? subnet to the wins server at X.X.X.2? In order to test, I use the following command on a computer that is not running the smb or nmb daemon: nmblookup -RU X.X.X.2 -s /etc/samba/smb.conf machine ( succeeds ) nmblookup -RU Y.Y.Y.3 -s /etc/samba/smb.conf machine ( fails ) --- William L Childers Programming Support Manager, OSU Center for Health Sciences A beowulf cluster of Cisco routers?
