[Samba] Re: Samba 3.0.0-2 WINS Static entries

[Brett Maton]

I have now thanks John,

  Initially I just added the #03 entries had still had no joy,
 although they remained in the wins.dat file now that I'm adding them when
nmbd isn't running ;-)

I added entries for #00 and #20 and now every thing seems to be working just
fine.

It maybe worth adding the above pointers to the Samba How-to Guide ?

Thanks again,

Brett

Sounds like a good enough reason to me.

Are you saying that you have it working now?
