Wins is now considered obsolete along with netbios even by Microsoft. In modern environments every thing should use DNS. XP was the last version of windows which shipped with netbios turned on by default and without netbios wins doesn't work either. Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
In SL 7.0, adding "wins" to end of hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf no longer gives me the WINS name resolution I had in earlier versions, i.e. I could ping NetBIOS names from SL 6.x command line. I've added and enabled various other services in a blind effort to get it working, to no effect: nscd, samba, and samba-winbind What's missing in SL 7.0 that was present and allowed this in SL 6.x? | ||
