Yes, wins is for name resolution. I was also under the impression that wins allowed a server on a different subnet to show up in network-neighborhood, by syncing browse lists with the domain master browser (in this case, an nt wins server and pdc). By point to point I mean a network where there are two ends, A and B. B is in its own subnet, no broadcast, it uses A as its gateway/router. There is nothing else in that subnet. B access the network through A. The samba server is B. B is a local master, but not a domain master. The samba server is a domain member, with winbind and security = domain, and that part is working. The part that isn't working is: nmbd[19140]: [2003/03/03 06:44:18, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:domain_master_node_status_fail(262) nmbd[19140]: domain_master_node_status_fail: nmbd[19140]: Doing a node status request to the domain master browser nmbd[19140]: for workgroup [my_domain] at IP [ip addr of nt pdc/wins] failed. nmbd[19140]: Cannot sync browser lists. The domain name and ip address are correct, and an nmap -P0 -sU -p 137-139 (ip_addr) shows: Port State Service 137/udp open netbios-ns 138/udp open netbios-dgm 139/udp open netbios-ssn But samba won't sync browse lists. ~ Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.
