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.
