Thanks. It works editing file nsswitch.conf.
Editing host.conf is not necessary, really wins is not permitted in order from host.conf. If you add it when you do a ping it says: /etc/host.conf: line 1: expected service, found `wins,hosts,bind' Iago -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] nombre de David Morel Enviado el: jueves, 03 de julio de 2003 16:57 Para: Vizitiu, Ciprian CC: Samba MailList Asunto: RE: [Samba] I can't ping NT workstation Le jeu 03/07/2003 � 16:07, Vizitiu, Ciprian a �crit : > > When I execute a nmblookup command to find the NT server by > > the name it works.
