Hi guys,

I realy need your help.
It looks like SMBD doesn't want to talk with NMBD, but why?

When I run the command: nmblookup torpc8
The result is:
querying torpc8 on 10.5.255.255
Got a positive name query response from 10.5.2.27 ( 10.5.2.27 )
10.5.2.27 torpc8<00>
That is correct.

When I run the command: smbclient -NL torpc8
The result is:
resolve_wins: Attempting wins lookup for name torpc8<0x20>
bind succeeded on port 0
resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name torpc8<0x20>
Connection to torpc8 failed

Here is the enteries in log.nmb file:
  wins_process_name_query: name query for name TORPC8<20> from IP
127.0.0.1
[2001/02/21 19:28:17, 3]
nmbd/nmbd_winsserver.c:wins_process_name_query_request(
1362)

TORPC8 is a workstation with some shares. If I use "name resolve order =
wins lmhosts host"
it's work perfect. But I want to be sure that wins is working.

Here is the smb.conf:
[global]
   # interfaces     = 127.0.0.1/8 10.5.1.12/255.255.0.0
   # bind interfaces only = no
   workgroup      = TORONTO
   guest account  = nobody
   password level = 8
   log file       = /var/log/samba/logs/log.%m
   lock directory = /var/log/samba/locks

   # Make wins work
   wins support   = yes
   wins proxy  = yes
   domain master = yes
   local master   = yes
   preferred master = yes
   os level       = 65
   browse list    = yes
   name resolve order = wins lmhosts

Any seqgestion are highly appreciate.

Thanks a lot for your time.
Peter
