Is it possible to manually add entries to the WINS database on a Samba nmbd running as a WINS server? Alternativily could I get the WINS nmbd to use DNS for hostsnames it can't resolve using it's own database. I have several NT servers that seem to just vanish from the db after a while. One of my 2.2.3a boxes also did this for a pastime. Whilst I can do nbtstat -RR on NT or restart

Hi, I posted this ages ago (http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004- September/093635.html) and never solved the problem so I thought I'd ask again as I've been digging deeper and have more information. I'm using Samba as a WINS server but it's not working reliably. The initial registration works fine on startup but renewals sometimes fail. I tested with a server for which

Hi all. I want to add static entries to wins.I look over the book <Samba-HOWTO-Collection> for the v3.2 of samba. That tell me "All you have to do is add a line to wins.dat". I try this. But we should shutdown the nmbd,and then start nmbd. I want to stop the service. What can I do with samba4 or 3??

I use Samba 3.14.17 and later test Samba 3.6.9. The computer is WINs server on Samba. wins support = yes All work good. But now I see that NetBIOS clients cannot to re-register their names on WINs, when he change IP. >From WinXP SP3 I do nbtstat -RR Answer: NetBIOS-names registered by this computer were changed. >From server: relay2# nmblookup -U 10.0.0.1 -R -S aiy querying aiy on

Greetings ... I have a question ... does anybody know how to force a M$-WinNT4 computer to re-register it's WINS if we have restart Samba without having restart the NT4 boxes? Sometimes we have had to stop and start Samba because of lock problems, and then our NT4 boxes don't show up in the Network-Nieghthood until restart. Thanks. Mailed Lee

Hi all, We are running Samba 3.0.2a and using it as a domain controller and WINS server. After rebooting the server, we are unable to reach (i.e. looking up machines by name) some of our network PCs (Windows 2000 boxes), due to failure with WINS look up. I investigated the wins.db file, and those Win boxes are not listed in there. If I use the command "nbtstat -RR" on those PCs to

I've recently setup an iSCSI portal on my network and have taken some servers offline. However, due to the requirements of certain software programs I need to use UNC paths. I was able to fix this issue by adding CNAME into my DNS. I'm still finding that certain programs still require to view the browse list to find the appropriate server. Since CNAME doesn't link to the

Hi, I'm trying to add static entries to the wins.dat file, as per The Official Samba 3 How-to guide but can't get it to work. If I add entries and just leave it be, the server responds with unknown host and If I restart nmbd it removes all the entries (static) that I manually added. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ? Brett

Hi! I need to add static entries to my Samba 3.0.9 WINS server but I can't. Let's explain: The "Samba Collection Howto" chapter "Network Browsing" , section "Static WINS Entries" tells that I can edit my "wins.dat" file (/opt/samba/var/locks/wins.dat) to set the TTL of some entries to 0 . No matter if I edit the TTL of some existing entries

On my RedHat Cluster I am trying to configure samba shares that can be relocated or fail over from one node to anoter. This is done by: 1. mounting the corresponding file system on the node from SAN 2. having the cluster assign the corresponding virtual ip number to that node 3. I tried to run an aditional instance of samba for that share ( See posting: "security = domain -- samba adds its

Dear samba users, I'm trying to add static entries to a samba WINS server (samba-1.9.18p8-51.2). Therefore I have a file /etc/samba/lmhosts: -------------------------------------------- klimt.iwr KLIMT klee KLEE -------------------------------------------- and start nmb with: /usr/sbin/nmbd -d 3 -H /etc/samba/lmhosts The problem now is: Only if "wins proxy=yes"

I've had Samba 2 running just fine on my REDHAT 8 server and I've just upgraded to V3.04. It seems to all work but..... I tried to make it behave as a BDC WINS server as I've got Windows NT4 PDC and BDC servers and I need my Redhat box to act as a backup WINS server. This I've now done I think. But when I use WIN Manager from NT it doesn't think the WINS on the Linux box

I am trying to use static wins entries, as stated in the Official Samba Howto Collection. One Samba server (VServer) is with wins service enabled. Another (Server1) is not, but it has the wins server in its smb.conf. When I set wins.dat at VServer: "SERVER1#00" 0 192.168.6.231 192.168.1.231 66R "SERVER1#03" 0 192.168.6.231 192.168.1.231 66R "SERVER1#20" 0

Hello, Is there *any* way to reliablily determine the NetBIOS name of a computer when you only know their IP address? I know it is very easy to find the IP address from the NetBIOS name, but I can't seem to find any way of getting a NetBIOS name from an IP.. James deBoer (jdeboer@scsinternet.com)

Hi all I've a samba server listen on eth0 (everything ok) and eth2 server1 has eth2: 192.168.100.212 <--> 192.168.100.213 (another linux server) with another interface 192.168.30.0/24 from network 192.168.30.0/24 I can ping 192.168.100.212 and works with samba shares (but only using numeric IP) I don't see any computers from windows machines. nbtstat doesn't find any host

Hi, I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the

fc2, samba 3.0.9 The samba server is PDC. Temporarily, the server was dhcp, which gave it the IP 192.168.1.64 we then set it to static 192.168.1.150, which is what we want. however, the different windows clients, on and off, on ping and such, resolve INTRANET, the netbios name of the pdc, to 192.168.1.64 still, despite me removing wins.dat. I even tried the following suggestion, to no avail

Have a 2003 server located outside of the Domain network over a VPN. The server originally existed inside the network (10.1.1.0/24) but now exists on 10.10.12.0/24. I can access shares over the VPN to the domain controller, but when I try to log in as a domain user it says the domain is unavailable. I added the domain controller as a WINS server on the 2003 server. nbtstat -c on the 2003 does
