In general that's fine. If you're running a wins server and a dns server than than you should eliminate the hosts/lmhosts use (outside of the standard localhost line(s) in hosts) - it's a waste of time, redundant, and not flexible. Do you have a dhcp option for wins servers as well? Such as: ----------------------------------------------------- option netbios-name-servers 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.1; ----------------------------------------------------- > Let's see.

I can only guess that neither your WINS nor your DNS are working properly, otherwise all of your name resolutions should have worked without hosts/lmhosts entries. > Whats a ".local TLD"? TLD = Top Level Domain A domain name that ends (the top level) in .local. Such as "jones.local", where your the FQDN of your hosts would be something like vproductions2.jones.local, etc. I think Fedora introduced the glibc with mdns support, which from as little as I know about, seems to allow automatic name discovery via broadcasts kind of like what NetBIOS does. It will interfere with otherwise normal name resolution attempts. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
