Re: [Samba] Samba WINS Questions
Hi, First, I know about public IP addresses 193 and 194, i'm just using it for tests before the final solution Then adding static entries in the wins.dat file is possible of course it's discribe in the samba's doc. By the way when you configure samba PDC and BDC with Wins server and Wins client, the wins.dat goes automaticaly with the line 2 and 3 of BDC1 wins.dat. I know then this is samba which done it. The problem come from the architecture. I've many sites which need Wins server localy 'cause of windows's softs. When configuring smb.conf and running smbd/nmbd then DBC are unable to join the DMB. I finaly goes with BDC which are subnet LMB but unable to send netbios informations to synchronize Wins. This could be verify by looking at the moment in wins.dat BDC server. I can see my BDC as domain controleur for the subnet but no information about PDC and setting log level = 9 show in log.nmbd : DMB UNKNOW... Maybe it possible that i've missed something in Wins proccesses I'm going to investiguate one more time thank for help Vincent On Tue, 27 Jun 2006, Vincent Fonteneau wrote: Finaly WINS problem solved, I'm not so sure.

[Samba] Samba WINS Questions
Hi, I'm using Samba 3.0.21c with PDC and severals BDC in different subnets. I'm triing to use Wins servers on all the BDC servers and on the PDC. The problems occurs in the network browsing. I'm able to see all computers with the PDC on the different subnets but I just can see local servers in the network neighborhood on BDC When starting BDC i've got the unable to find the domain master message log error. I've tried the remote annouce and remote browse sync option without success. The Samba's docs show how to configure DMB and LMB with domain master option. Is it possible to get DMB from different machine than the PDC ? When putting Domain master = no the server is automatically BDC in the network. I've configured PDC and then while see the log.nmbd i can see that PDC goes first as the domain master and after few secondes came with Local master. Is it normal ? The PDC runs with Os level = 255 and BDC with 248. Local master option is yes on all servers. Remote announce and remote brose sync are options to synchronize LMB with others LMB, and not DMB is it right ? How to synchronize all Wins server (PDC to all BDC) on different subnets when I want to go with one wins server per site and is it possible ? I understand now that wins is using to pass routers when triing to send netbios informations between subnets, and i'm afraid that PDC and BDC can't communicate both without configuring one wins server option on one server and wins client on the others servers ???
