"multiple response" errors in log.nmb (fwd)

[Stenglein, James C]

This is a post I have found on this site (
http://samba.cadcamlab.org/lists/samba-technical/Jun2000/00268.html )
regarding a Samba issue.  I cannot find a follow-up on this and it is the
same log problem that I am having.  Was there any follow up or possible
resolution to this?  Thanks in Advance for your help!!

This is the actual post....
Our log.nmb file fills up very quickly with the following pattern of
messages: 
[2000/06/22 11:58:25, 0] nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:query_name_response(93)
query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet
129.130.10.136 for name NT.CIS.KSU.EDU<1d>. This response was from IP
129.130.10.24
 [2000/06/22 11:58:25, 0] nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:query_name_response(93)
query_name_response: Multiple (3) responses received for a query on subnet
129.130.10.136 for name NT.CIS.KSU.EDU<1d>. This response was from IP
129.130.10.24
 [2000/06/22 11:58:25, 0] nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:query_name_response(93)
query_name_response: Multiple (4) responses received for a query on subnet
129.130.10.136 for name NT.CIS.KSU.EDU<1d>. This response was from IP
129.130.10.24 
[2000/06/22 11:58:25, 0] nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:query_name_response(93)
query_name_response: Multiple (5) responses received for a query on subnet
129.130.10.136 for name NT.CIS.KSU.EDU<1d>. This response was from IP
129.130.10.24
 There is also another pattern in the log file: the set of errors occurs
every 5 minutes(+/- a few seconds). This seems a little redundant to me. My
questions: Is this error significant? Does it affect performance? Is there
anything I can do about it? Other than editing the source to get rid of the
error? I'm not familiar with WINS... is the problem on the NT server or the
Samba server?
