Dear Sirs, i'm trying to set up my samba server as WINS server My smb.conf (global section) is:
[global]
#Parametri di configurazione Server netbios name = LIGHTLORD server string = Samba %v on (%L) workgroup = T-PLAN security = user bind interfaces only = yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log.%L.%m max log size = 100 os level = 255 local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes domain logons = yes encrypt passwords = yes wins support = yes name resolve order = lmhosts bcast
in /etc/lmhosts i've defined: 192.168.1.1 LIGHTLORD#20 192.168.1.9 myclientest#00 192.168.1.20 client
In the tcp/ip setting, under wins server, i put the samba server address 192.168.1.1
Ok, here is the problem: there's no name resolution
If i try (from a windows xp/98/ME client)
ping client
ping myclientest
there's an error: impossible to find the host. Verify if the name is right and try again (i don't know if it's the right english answer since i've the italian microsoft version so i did a translation)
I run samba with:
smbd -D
nmbd -H /etc/samba/lmhosts -D
in order to read the lmosts from another directory
Ok, i think i told everything so ..... please help!
Best Regards Marco
