[Samba] Samba Wins Problem

Tue Oct 31 17:29:36 GMT 2006

Hi All

I have installed Samba 3 under RHEL v4, with LDAP support for the
authentication and as a PDC Domain, it seems everything works fine, but the
only problem was the network browser list.
We have a different subnet 192.168.X., 192.168.Y., 192.168.Z., etc..., Samba
local browser works fine, but the remote subnet and workgroup are
inaccessible, I double check the nmbd logs, there an error which I can't
resolve it related to wins server <packet_is_for_wins_server: failing WINS
test #1.>, it seems the Samba wins server try to update the database but no
success, I am not sure about the reason behind, I tried many things to solve
it, I installed a samba4wins server which is a replicate server for wins
windows server, but the same, I tried to make a samba to listen to microsoft
wins server (wins server = X.Y.Z.T), but the same problems.

For your information, the all subnet are connected through a Cisco router for
the intranet and for the internet connection through another Linux router,
the default router for the samba server (broadcast) is the internal router
(Cisco).

I have attached my smb.conf here for more details about the configuration.

PS: There is another internal error (Bug) if I try to configure a wins proxy
support with the latest update of Samba with RHEL ES4 U4.

Regards
