I'm trying to understand odd behavior in my LAN. I'm running Samba 2.2.5 and trying to run it as a PDC.
I have 1-2 win98 clients, 1 XPSP1 client, and 1 Win2kSP3 client. I've managed to add the XP and 2K machines to the domain successfully, but still haven't finished configuring logins to work correctly -- something about my user not having permission to write to \\server\uname\profile even though permissions on the various login paths and and netlogin shares would seem to be in order -- but I can play more with these. My main question concerns ethereal trace output: Quite often when My w2k client is doing a lookup on my local group, I see: w2k -> server NBNS "Refresh MYGROUP <1d>" server -> w2k ICMP "Destination Unreachable" or more often: w2k -> server NBNS "Name query NB MYGROUP <1c>" server -> w2k ICMP "Destination Unreachable" (repeated several times per cycle) So why is the supposed (?) PDC, "server", sending back ICMP packets -- I thought ICMP dest unreachable's were for IP routing? Why am I seeing them in response to a NBNS refresh and name queries? Is this too technical for this group? It's sorta a 'newbie' question, since I'm just starting to understand this stuff, but am not sure where the tech/regular list dividing line is....
