According to several sources I've read, including your citations, if I'm running wins as part of my Samba server, then netbios mode h is the proper mode. I've added the line option netbios-node-type=8 to my dhcpd.conf Of the two Windows machines, studypc was set to 'm' mode, so I changed it to 'h'. Julimobile was already set to 'h'. > > Straight forward host declaration: > ------------------------------------------- > your example > ------------------------------------------- Thanks for this. I'd already found the section in my man dhcpd.conf and set it. So now, studypc is getting assigned fixed ip 192.168.2.33 at boot-time. > But this part isn't really a Samba issue and we should take it (and the > DNS stuff) offline before they revoke our list membership. > Let's see. It's very late so I won't do any thorough testing tonight. Maybe these other changes have fixed it. The rndc stuff I referred to has to with getting named.conf and rndc.conf to refer to a secret key in order to do dns. I don't fully understand it, but it is supposedly working. > Ack!
