Looking for a solution to this problem. I have Googled all over the place but haven't found a definitive answer.

I have a Samba Server that ONCE was on a network where there was SECOND Samba Server with IP Address 192.168.20.3. Today, the FIRST server is on a network with an address range 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 and it has no way of finding that SECOND Server 192.168.20.3. However, /var/log/messages is full of errors that say:

Nov 4 04:07:29 fileserver nmbd[5248]: [2007/11/04 04:07:29, 0] libsmb/nmblib.c:send_udp(791) Nov 4 04:07:29 fileserver nmbd[5248]: Packet send failed to 192.168.20.3(137) ERRNO=Network is unreachable Nov 4 04:07:29 fileserver nmbd[5248]: [2007/11/04 04:07:29, 0] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:send_netbios_packet(163) Nov 4 04:07:29 fileserver nmbd[5248]: send_netbios_packet: send_packet() to IP 192.168.20.3 port 137 failed Nov 4 04:07:29 fileserver nmbd[5248]: [2007/11/04 04:07:29, 0] nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:query_name(245) Nov 4 04:07:29 fileserver nmbd[5248]: query_name: Failed to send packet trying to query name ACCOUNTING<1b>

I can see that the file /var/cache/samba/wins.dat includes a reference to the IP Address 192.168.20.3 (I have seen some postings suggesting that wins.dat can be the cause of this error). If I delete wins.dat and restart samba, the reference to 192.168.20.3 comes back.

I can state with total confidence that there are no network interfaces on this machine configured to be in the 192.168.20.x range. In fact, only one of 3 network interfaces is currently active and has an IP Address.

Is there any way that I can get this Samba Server to stop looking for 192.168.20.3?
