I see this messaged when I have a multi-homed system with Microsoft Client and File Print share serivces active for all interfaces, but usually I see a different IP address in the error message such as: 6 18:28:12 main nmbd[17890]: This response was from IP 192.168.254.60, reporting an IP address of 192.168.1.60. When I see this type of message, then I just turn off Microsoft Client Services and turn off File Print Share services on the interfaces that are not on the same subnet as the Samba Server. Your messages show the same IP so I may be wrong, but maybe it will help in some way.
~smbinyon sorry for the top post but thought I keep it straight. -----Original Message----- From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 12:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Samba errors I know what OS LEVEL does and in my experience it's enough to put a value of 99 or even 65 to win browser elections over winnt/2000 adn that's why when I got these problems I tried to rise the value to 150 because I don't know if with a value of 99 samba will win over winxp, but as I can see this is not the problem here... because I still get those messages, so I'm a bit confused about what is really the problem.
