[Samba] Re: Re: nmbd multihomed registration request must be directedat aWINS server error
Hmm strange. My samba PDC server is on another machine with WINS support enabled. So I should *not* put the ip address of that server in the wins server field on my non-PDC samba server then? When I put the address (well, actually, I put the samba name of the PDC) in that field, I get those errors every five seconds in the nmbd log. The file server seems to be working fine without the WINS server specified so do I actually need to specify it? - Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com John H Terpstra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 17 Feb 2004, Dylan Cuthbert wrote: mm.. no response, so I'll reply to myself :-) I think this error seemed to be caused by my entry of a server name into the WINS Server field, even though WINS support was turned off.

Make sure that it is not the IP address of the Samba server if it is your WINS server (ie: wins support = yes in smb.conf). - John T. - Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com Dylan Cuthbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi there, I just got a new machine with Redhat Enterprise Workstation and samba 3.0.0-14 pre-installed.

mm.. no response, so I'll reply to myself :-) I think this error seemed to be caused by my entry of a server name into the "WINS Server" field, even though WINS support was turned off. Any idea why?
