hello all, samba 2.2.1a on redhat linux 7.2 intel questions about WINS: i am on a campus with preexisting WINS servers, and so i should like to utilize them as their addresses are supplied to DHCP clients. when i tell nmbd about this WINS server the log shows nmbd trying to contact it but there is no response. using telnet i can only get a connection to these wins servers on port 139. shouldnt 137 be open? so my nmbd is constantly trying to contact the server and gets no response. can someone help me understand the full story here?
errors are like: [2002/04/23 12:59:25, 4] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:retransmit_or_expire_response_records(1664) retransmit_or_expire_response_records: timeout for packet id 3252 to IP 192.168.2.138 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET [2002/04/23 12:59:25, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_timeout_response(200) register_name_timeout_response: WINS server at address 192.168.2.138 is not responding.
