Further to last posting.
1. If you move a samba server on another subnet OUT of a
cross network domain into its own domain, it is NOT deleted
from browse.dat in the old domain. A restart on the samba
server with WINS support seemed to clear that up.
2. I changed the WORKGROUP on my win95 PC to be the same as the
samba servers, on my subnet with includes the WINS server, and voila
all of the workgroups appeared, including the workgroups from the
other subnets. It appears that the local browse masters on the
other subnets which are pointed to my WINS server are doing the
right
thing.
3. The trouble is - the samba server (on another subnet) I moved to
another domain - still appears in the old domain. It also appears
in the new domain.
4. If I did a "tail -f /usr/samba/var/log.nmb" on the
WINS server/domain master browser ,
and then did a view/refreshin explorer, would I not see a query
logged in the log file, as it tries to find the master browser
for the domain ??? Currently I do not, even after re-booting the
PC. It is almost like it is getting the browse list from somewhere
else....
Sorry for the length of this, and I hope it is not too confusing,
but I am really puzzled. TIA
