I think I managed to get this solved. Shortly after I sent my previous
message I came across the thread ""Phantom" domain controller
problem..." which sounded fairly similar, and it is likely that the IP's
in question were assigned to this server while I built it. Rather than
the slash and burn technique described there I simply deleted the
offending entries in wins.dat as I have several static entries and
whatnot that I did not want to lose. Hopefully this will resolve my
spotty off-subnet domain logons, as the wins entries are now correct.
Why does nmbd hang on to those old IP's for so long? This machine hasn't
had those 192.168.x.x addresses for 6 months or more!
