I have a Samba 3 server that is trying to sync with itself.  I have
wins support = yes in the samba configuration file and there are no
other WINS servers on the network.

The IP address of the Samba server is 192.168.10.4 and is trying to
sync with itself but fails...

Here's the error from log.nmbd

[2005/08/10 12:34:21, 0] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(130)
  register_name_response: WINS server at IP 192.168.10.4 rejected our

  standard_fail_register: Failed to register/refresh name DOMAIN<1b>
on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET

Any ideas on how I make it the local WINS server?
