Ok, I'm running samba 2.0.2 on 195.170.129.129. In smb.conf
I've set:
wins support=no
wins proxy=no
dns proxy=no
as I have no use for wins. The problem still persists, a udp
packet is sent from one of my win98-clients to my linux-gw
machine and it triggers the link up.
If someone has any ideas the are much appricciated.
