Hi! i am having a bit of trouble with connections to my linux box from a remote client using pptp. The connection is established correctly and everything works great if only one user is connected. However, as soon as IPs start being assigned and reassigned my WINS serving samba starts to get confused. For example. I connect to my box from win2k. get ip 192.168.0.102. I can browse the network and do whatever i want. Suppose someone else connects in the same way, i see them in network neighborhood and all is good. if i disconnect and connect again, suppose i instead get ip 104. I still have the same netbios name and samba doesn't re-enter the ip/nbname info into the WINS database!! that means that if someone wanted to connect to my box, samba would return the old address 102 as mine instead of the new one 104 and the host would be unreachable. i hope i have been clear enough for someone to maybe have a solution to this--- ideally i would like a way to force nmbd to reexamine the WINS database either on connect or disconnect of a PPTP client because somewhere along the line there is something not working right.
if i am unclear about anything please ask, thanks! Pat __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
