Hey everyone, I'm haven't completely exorcised the demons that are possessing my server. Now my Win95 users are unable to print, and it seems that a problem with the samba config, specifically settings for a WINS server, appears to the be the problem. Here's the log: thales:/home/wilsont# tail /var/log/nmb [2000/10/04 06:59:40, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(180) process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request received for name EINSTEIN<03> from IP 10.22.100.52 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. [2000/10/04 06:59:40, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(181) Error - should be sent to WINS server [2000/10/04 06:59:40, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(180) process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request received for name EINSTEIN<00> from IP 10.22.100.52 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. [2000/10/04 06:59:40, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(181) Error - should be sent to WINS server [2000/10/04 07:01:24, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(180) process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request received for name SCIENCE<00> from IP 10.22.100.58 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. What's strange is that I've never had to worry about a WINS server before. I didn't change anything. I don't currently have a WINS server set up in smb.conf. Any wisdom from Samba gurus out there? I must admit I'm rather clueless about SMB networking and WINS in particular. Must I make my server act like a WINS server to keep the Win95 clients happy? Any advice would be appreciated. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.k12.mn.us/ | http://www.zope.org/ W.
