WINS on SAMBA

[Mike Harris]

RE: WINS on SAMBARichard,

DON'T DO THIS..... Samba WINS doesn't support WINS replication.  You can't have BOTH on any network, even Subnets (as it's routeable over TCP/IP).. Go for one or the other.

(apologies for shouting if you haven't got both!! :-))

Mike.

  I'm currently using an NT WINS server that exists in another domain at one of our other sites.  Problem is this box seems rather unreliable and when my NT clients logon they regularly complain about the SAMBA domain not being available.  I thought it would be a good idea to set-up WINS on the SAMBA server but it did slow browsing right down.

  I have another Origin200 for storing video so I may install SAMBA on it and add it to the existing SAMBA domain as a WINS server to see how it performs.

  Our Samba WINS server is quite stable here. You REALLY should 
  use an wins server for browsing ! :)
