Hello list members.
I have a curious problem with Samba 3.0.20 on Slackware 11.
This net has 7 PCs and 6 of them "run" WinME. I have activated
WINS
support on the GNU/Linux/Samba server. When I do
> ping servidor
on a WinME box, it pings to 192.168.0.1, which is the "oficina2"
(WinME)
box not "servidor" (Slackware). I've looked at the wins.dat file
and
found this: SERVIDOR has 3 entries, each one of them has 192.168.0.1 as
the first IP address followed by 192.168.0.2; which is wrong because
I've set up the only ethernet adapter in "servidor" as 192.168.0.2
and
"oficina2" with 192.168.0.1.
I don't use DNS, /etc/hosts has correct values for <name>
<IP>
pairs. Please help me with this one because I can't solve this on my own.
Thanks in advance.-

Unless something else is wrong that should remove the rogue entry. Also, there's an odd problem that I think only affects some versions of Win95 where the primary WINS server is ignored and only the secondary used, so when there is only one WINS server it's always a good idea to place its IP address into both the primary and secondary WINS server fields.
