Hi there, We have Samba running on an HP-UX 11.0 server. Our end-users are still on Windows 95, soon to change to Windows 2000, and therefore use NetBIOS to connect to the network share on the machine. Occasionally the WINS server on the network loses its entry for the Samba server. This, in turn, causes the Win95 machine to be unable to connect to the UNIX server. The WINS server is configured in such a way that it is not possible to manually add a permanent entry into its database for Samba. As a result, we are forced to stop and restart the smbd and nmbd daemons on the server in order for the Windows 95 machine to be able to reconnect.
Is there a way for Samba to constantly broadcast, multicast, or unicast its information to the WINS server in order for this problem not to occur? One other note, the workstations will be upgraded to Windows 2000 in several weeks and thereby make this issue moot. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
