Installed Debian Woody Installed Samba 3.02a-1 Setup Samba Setup Network to use Static IP address (Being a PDC / WINS Server and all...)
Now I'm getting the following:
>ifconfig eth0 eth0: Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr: [MAC address here] inet addr:192.168.x.19 Bcast:192.168.x.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 .....etc....
>smbclient -L [SERVER] Error connecting to 192.168.x.195 Connection to [SERVER] failed
>ping [SERVER] PING [SERVER].localdomain (192.168.x.19): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.x.19: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.0ms **SNIP**
>cat /etc/hosts **SNIP** 192.168.x.19 [server].localdomain [server]
Normally, I wouldn't be too concerned, but apparently this has propagated into WINS, and so we have one computer (so far, we're transitioning to this new server in stages) that cannot connect to the server until the NetBIOS has propagated to it, and I don't want to have to set up a custom LMHOSTS for every client. That's what WINS is for.
Also, if it makes any difference, 192.168.x.195 was the last DHCP address on that network card before I changed it to Static IP.
Appropriate sections of smb.conf, ask if you need more:
[global] interfaces=eth0 192.168.x.19 netbios name=[SERVER] workgroup=DM.NET security=USER socket options=TCP_NODELAY dns proxy=no os level=65 domain master=yes prefered master=yes wins support=yes local master=yes domain logons=yes name resolve order=wins lmhosts bcast host
