Samba becomes no domain master browser

[Juergen Nagler]

Hi,

running Samba 2.0.6 on a SuSE 6.4 distrib we are not able to register
our Samba PDC as domain master browser at a WINS-Server outside our
subnet. The relevant entries of our smb.conf should be ok (have read all
docs like BROWSING.txt):

[global]
   wins support      = no
   domain master     = yes
   os level          = 65
   preferred master  = yes
   local master      = yes
   wins server       = yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

Now I always see a become_domain_master_query_fail. I try it with
various WINS-Server (NT and Samba), but got always the same result. Any
ideas what goes wrong?


TIA, Juergen
