Hello, Concerning my problem with not being able to connect to our domain with our Samba clients, there is a further piece of evidence in my samba.log, and I'm hoping that someone who is more experienced in dealing with WINS and domains can clarify the nature of these messages from the log: sync_with_dmb: Initiating sync with domain master browser PLEIADES<20> at IP 128.253.175.155 for workgroup PLAB [2006/07/11 10:13:45, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:wins_registration_timeout(184) wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out registering IP 128.253.175.155 [2006/07/11 10:13:45, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:wins_registration_timeout(184) wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out registering IP 128.253.175.155 [2006/07/11 10:13:45, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:wins_registration_timeout(184) wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out registering IP 128.253.175.155 [2006/07/11 10:13:45, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:wins_registration_timeout(184) wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out registering IP 128.253.175.155 [2006/07/11 10:13:45, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:wins_registration_timeout(184) wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out registering IP 128.253.175.155 [2006/07/11 10:13:45, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:wins_registration_timeout(184) wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out registering IP 128.253.175.155 [2006/07/11 10:13:45, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:wins_registration_timeout(184) wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out registering IP 128.253.175.155 Has anyone else encountered this problem before while trying to run the Samba server as a WINS server?

I'm not expert with WINS server but i've worked on for few days. Buy looking to your log message you could see the wins_registration_timeout: WINS server 127.0.0.1 timed out error. How have you configured the Wins server in the smb.conf, seems to be on 127.0.0.1 ? Using samba as wins server by setting : wins support = yes using samba as wins client by setting : wins server = <ip address wins server> Maybe is it possible that nmbd using only lo for listing interface ?
