Hi I have my samba server (redhat) configured to use an external wins server. Each time samba starts up, it registers its netbios name with the wins server. So far so good.
Then we wanted to deploy the samba box to a new location and new IP address. We changed the ip address in Linux in /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network & /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. When samba restarts it still registers with wins with the original ip address. Running nmblookup 'servername' also shows old IP address. Why? and how can I fix it? Is the IP address built into the samba installation?
