Has anybody setup a Samba that can act as a WINS server with static entries for the NT domain? What I did was enabled DNS proxy in the hopes it would use the local hosts file for domain login. It seems to work except when I move to another subnet. There are no DNS entries on our name servers for any of our domain stuff.
Here's what I did:
1: Router forwarding broadcasts allows my win98 to login so I disable them with NodeType=2 (This forces use only wins) in the registry. I can't login.
2: Added my samba wins server to win98 settings. Reboot. I can't login.
3: Then I add my domain controller to the /etc/hosts file and restart the smb and nmb services. I can then login ok to the domain. (This is good)
4: If I move my win98 pc to another subnet (all network stuff configured ok) I can't login. (This doesn't seem to be right am I still missing some weird broadcast thing?)
I can ping the tommy2 & wins-one servers ok. Ntsql times out and Attorney reolves to an IP address on the internet. This applies to both step 3 and 4.
Here's what my /etc/hosts and smb.conf looks like.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
172.27.128.225 wins-one#00 wins-one.hillsboroughcounty.org wins-one
172.16.21.51 ITS#1b ITS#1c ntsql#20 ntsql#03 ntsql
