Hello All,
i have a PDC running on subnet 192.168.100.x, and i have set wins support =
yes. i have another subnet 192.168.101.x where all my client windows
2k/XP/2003/samba clients reside. For some reason the WINs server doesn't update
its entries whenever a client changes IP address -- it still serves up the
previous ip address mapping. This only seems to be a problem with samba-based
clients; i've tried changing ip addresses on windows clients, and the WINs
seems to detect the ip address changes immediately.
For example, when i change the ip address for samba server serverA, from
192.168.101.1 to 192.168.101.2, an 'nmbloookup -R -U PDC serverA' returns
192.168.101.1, but an 'nmblookup serverA' returns 192.168.101.2.
Upon suggestion from previous posts, the workaround now is to manually edit
wins.dat on the WINS/PDC. While it does work well enough, i'm concerned that
this may become a very big problem once i deploy this -- we have around 300
servers/VMs as of writing.
Any advice? tia
