Are there some clean cut instructions on setting wins on linux?
I've read the O'Reilly book without much success. Thanks for the help.
Here's an update on the situation:
1) My local network, which consists of my RH6.1
server and win98 client is on a 192.168.0.x
network with subnet 255.255.0.0 The school
network is on a 10.x.x.x network with subnet
255.255.255.0
2) Here are the options enabled on my win98 client:
DNS Configuration
Host: Chamelion Domain: school.edu
DNS Server Search Order: 168.28.176.11
Gateway
Installed Gateways: 192.168.0.1
WINS Configuration
Enable WINS Resolution
WINS Server Search Order: 192.168.0.1, 168.28.176.253,
168.28.176.254
IP Address
Obtain an IP address automatically is enabled
3) Here's some excerpts from my /etc/smb.conf file:
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.0.0
10.1.4.201/255.255.255.0
bind interfaces only = yes
name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcast
wins support = yes
;wins server = 168.28.176.253
;wins proxy = yes
dns proxy = yes
4) This is what my /etc/lmhosts looks like
192.168.0.1 linuxserver.school.edu
10.1.4.201 linuxserver.school.edu
192.168.0.10 linuxserverclient.school.edu
My /etc/hosts is similar
5) my \windows\hosts file on my win98 client looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 linuxserver.school.edu
6) My linux server as well as my win98 client can ping on
both networks. My linux server can be pinged from both sides
Thanks for the help
