similar to: WINS dependence on IP name resolution

Hello together! I have an problem with the wins server, based on a Gentoo distribution with Samba 3.0.24. The problem is following: After an restart of samba everything works fine, but after an undefined time period its not possible to make an nmblookup for some other computers. The samba server is also configured as wins server. an cut from the smb.conf: ...... domain master = Yes

Hi, all. I've always assumed that there's a way to do transparent WINS-based hostname resolution, but I'm durned if I can figure out how. In other words, I imagine that you could just add another entry to /etc/resolv.conf (eg., "hosts: files dns wins") that would allow me to ping foo and have it attempt to resolve through each in turn. Does this exist, and I've just

I'm running a Samba PDC at home (v2.2.5, recently upgraded from v2.2.3 in an attempt to solve this problem) on RedHat 7.3. I have domain logon, printing and all that good stuff working just fine to a couple of XP and 2000 clients. But, I want to mount a couple shares from the domain clients to the server, and that works just fine except for one client. fujisawa(6) ~> smbmount

I have compiled the latest source acquired from the SAMBA Web page to run on AIX 4.2. For some reason my WINS client just isn't working. I verify that the NetBIOS names and IP addresses are in the NT WINS server's tables. I verify that the WINS server's IP address is appropriately configured in smb.conf. I run testparms and all is OK. I executed two commands with no change in

Hi, I've got a strange problem with address resolution in a mixed Network with Samba on Linux as Server and Win2k / XP clients. At first my setup: - SuSE Linux 8.1 - Samba Version 2.2.5-SuSE on SuSE 8.1 (smd.conf attached) - nmbd is configured to act as a WINS server. - DHCP is installed (dhcpd.conf attached) - No DNS is installed Everything worked fine until a temporary Server-Down-Time,

hi! Sorry in advance if I am not on the right mailing-list and sorry if my question is cover somewhere is doc (I didn't find anything). The result from nmblookup (same result on all platform) for a given samba server isn't what I expect. The key part of my smb.conf is: [global] netbios name = ourserver2 netbios aliases = ourserverdev ourserverlab ourserver name

I'm having some problems with (I think) WINS here and am hoping for some pointers to tools that will help me track down what's going on. Really, I'd like to be able to get a big dump of all of the names registered on a WINS server. (The WINS server in question is a NT box to which I don't have direct access. Ideally, I'd like to be able to see a nmblookup-style dump showing

Hello everybody! Still struggeling with my latest Samba setup, I've just run accross another problem which I can't figure out on my own. Samba is supposed to act as a WINS server (among other things) on a multihomed machine. (The Samba version is 3.5.1 as part of Debian Squeeze) Here's the [global] part of the samba setup: ----------------------------------- 8<

All, 1. Here is my network configuration: One NT4 PDC One NT4 BDC Two Sun boxes, both configured as Domain Member servers running Samba version 3.0.10 providing file and print sharing. Three Windows 2000 boxes configured as Citrix servers Two Sun boxes configured as Sun Ray servers (used in conjunction with the Citrix servers) One UNIX box used as a DNS Master Server One UNIX box used

Hi, I searched the documentation and the web but cannot find a way to query a wins server for all registered machines in an workgroup or domain. If I want to ask the wins with nmblookup, I have to specify a single name to lookup, wildcards are not allowed. If using the broadcast facility I can search with wildcards: nmblookup '*' -B 192.168.0.255 querying * on 192.168.0.255 192.168.0.7

My client Windows XP boxes are failing to register with my WINS server (running nmbd from Samba). I'm puzzled how to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Background: I'm setting up BackupPC to back up my Windows clients using rsync. I've installed cwRsync to the clients. BackupPC uses nmblookup to find the client's IP address given its Windows NETBIOS name. I'm

Hi all, We have a weird problem, Samba is providing an outdated IP address for a client (XP Pro) machine. This means that the client machine is not contactable by the other machines on the network. The IP is that which was previously used when connecting via the company VPN, although the machine has/is now plugged onto the company network and had has new IP via DHCP. This problem continues

Hi I have my samba server (redhat) configured to use an external wins server. Each time samba starts up, it registers its netbios name with the wins server. So far so good. Then we wanted to deploy the samba box to a new location and new IP address. We changed the ip address in Linux in /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network & /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. When samba restarts

Hello I happen to have two network interfaces on my new, up-to-date, CentOS 6.2, named eth0 and virbr0 (3 of them if I include the lo interface). However the system APIs like getaddrinfo() only return the address for the virbr0 interface (which was created by the CentOS installation), when I would like to have them both. Even if I give the configured eth0 address explicitly to getnameinfo(),

Hi there. This is with regards to samba-3.0.23c, on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p12 Previously I had Samba up and running without any problems. Then I decided to do a tiny upgrade by simply switching to a new motherboard, while keeping all other hardware and software aspects the same. However, after the upgrade, netbios name resolution seems to have stopped working somehow. \\servername lookups no
