Hi
It seems that your Client VENUS tries to register itself to the WINS server it is
configured to. Check what WINS server is configured using "ipconfig /all" in
a DOS prompt.
If your client's WINS server is configured to be a.b.c.d and your domain PDC IP is a.b.c.d but the "wins
server" parameter of smb.conf is set to "no" then it would seem logical that the error is
"Should be sent to the WINS".
Please post your "ipconfig /all" output and your smb.conf file.

My apologies, I'm terribly sorry to belabor these PDC issues to the point where everyone
is undoubtedly tired of hearing about them, but I have become absolutely obsessed with
trying to solve this PDC problem. Here is what is happening now. I'm trying to connect
to the Samba server which is set up as the PDC (domain PLAB) from windows client
"venus". Windows prompts me to enter a username and password. I enter the
username and password for root. It comes back and says it can't find a network path to
that domain. Here's the message that appears in my samba log file:
[2006/07/07 14:40:18, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(183)
process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request received for name
VENUS<20> from IP 128.253.175.150 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.
[2006/07/07 14:40:18, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(184)
Error - should be sent to WINS server
Can anybody tell me what this error means?
I do not have your original smb.conf file available, as I am at work and only have shell
access to this e-mail account, but just as a shot in the dark, are you running WINS on
your Samba server? IIRC, a PDC is always expected to be running WINS, so it looks like
it's having problems registering "venus" in the Windows/Samba domain. So, I
would check to see if you are running that . . . if you aren't, I'd give that a shot, and
I'll try to verify a few more things when I get home for you.
Thank you very much,
Eric
