I've upgraded to 3.0.21b and my problem still occurs. Here's a test case: 1. When I boot a Win 2000 Server host with IIS services starting by default the server name *can* be resolved by my Samba WINS server (tested with nmblookup from another server). 2. If I then do "nbtstat -RR" to renew the registration (presumably this is the equivalent of the 5-day renewal period) the name can *not* be resolved. 3. If I then stop the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" and "IIS Admin Service" services and do "nbtstat -RR" the name *can* be resolved. 4. If I then start the above services and again do "nbtstat -RR" the name again fails to be resolved. So presumably there's still an issue if it's not case sensitive. Am I missing something or should I file it in Bugzilla. Thanks in advance for any help, Leon... -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
