But the win wks on the other subnet is configured to use my SAMBASERVER as its WINS SERVER, and it is configured using the IP Adress of the SAMBASERVER and not the name. Shouldn't this do the trick?
win wks is on a wireless subnet and hence runs at 11 MBPS, while the SAMBASERVER is on a wired subnet. I read somewhere that windows does some kind of "optimization" with slow networks. Is it possible that this is a result of that? or am I way of the target here? - Murali -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 6:39 AM To: ganapathy murali krishnan Subject: Re: [Samba] Cross Subnet WINS? If you want it to work the win wks must be able to resolve the name SAMBASERVER . Unfortunateley the only way it can is through wins . So you need to add a dns entry to your privtate dns with a hostname SAMBASERVER.yourdomain.com and use that name for dns server or just enter the ip address .
