Hi all,
I am running RedHat 7.3 and Samba 2.2.3a. I am using DHCP for my Linux box
(hostname: NGPLinux, IP 132.189.26.62). I can see the list of shares I
defined by using "smbclient -L NGPLinux -N". I can resolve the name using
"nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 NGPLinux". However, when I tried to use "nmblookup
-B 132.189.26.255 NGPLinux" on the local machine, I got the following error:
querying NGPlinux on 132.189.26.255
tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file
/var/cache/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory
.... (for complete info, please see below).
I can use nslookup to find the IP for NGPLinux from another box, but I can
not find NGPLinux from its IP address. I can ping NGPLinux and its IP
address.
I suspect DHCP somehow didn't register my machine well, but I have no idea
how to test/correct it.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Guan
