I have the IP of the WINS address configured on a few computers at each location for
testing, but these computers are constantly running, so the problem should not be
anything with the client being shut down.
The following is the global configuration from the DMB/WINS
[global]
netbios name = Name
workgroup = workgroup
security = user
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
wins support = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
interfaces = {IP of NIC}/{Subnet}
This is from one of the LMB:
[global]
netbios name = NBName
workgroup = workgroup
security = user
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
wins server = {WINS IP Here}
wins support = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = no
name resolve order = wins lmhost host bcast
remote browse sync = {WINS/DMB IP}
I am guessing that I am missing some sort of entries in the smb.conf files that are
needed. I did check the firewalls and UDP 137, 138 and TCP 139 are open.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David Kruger

Have you set the IP address of the WINS server in the WINS address in
TCP/IP configuration on everyy Windows client?
