The NT guys try not to touch their WINS servers unless they're really broken, but I think you're probably right - this might just fix it. I will ask them if they're willing to do this on Monday. > Does the server have a 15-character name? > There have been some issues discussed > lately re: that... Nope...

While I haven't done this exact thing, I _have_ brought up a few new Samba servers just to see if the old information was being "cached" or something (I'll easily admit I know nothing about WINS). The new hosts are _not_ browsable (which further points to the WINS servers not being totally happy with the reIP). Thanks very much for the suggestions - I'll see if the NT folks are willing to flush the entire WINS database. I'd still appreciate any further suggestions or ideas - I'm rather surprised that no one has seen this problem before. Thanks again! :) Benny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Always carry a short length of fibre-optic cable.
