I have stopped nmbd and cleared out the wins.dat file. Then put only
this entry in:
"PCRITSMB#03" 0 10.5.73.101 66R
When I start up nmbd it gets populated and the host PCRITSMB get
assigned 10.5.73.102, instead of what it really is at 10.5.73.101.
This host is also the samba and WINS server.
The problem also started yesterday as we made a change to it's ip
address. It used to be 102 but now it's 101. So how/why would it revert
back to the old ip as far as WINS is concerned?

In the cached wins.dat file I'm noticing that it's caching the wrong
ip for a hostname. We are using WINS not dns. So we can't ping the
host by name, just by ip address only. Is there a way to clear this
cache? Or what else on a network could be causing this?
Hi,
I had the same problem, and solved it like this :
- stop your samba server
- locate all the file that are in the same directory as wins.dat
(usually /var/cache/samba) and delete them. You might want to make
backup copies of them before doing this.
- restart your samba server.
All the erased files are automatically created, and the data is accurate.
Hoggins!
