I've upgraded to 3.0.21b and my problem still occurs. Here's a test
case:

1. When I boot a Win 2000 Server host with IIS services starting by
default the server name *can* be resolved by my Samba WINS server
(tested with nmblookup from another server).

2. If I then do "nbtstat -RR" to renew the registration (presumably this
is the equivalent of the 5-day renewal period) the name can *not* be
resolved.

3. If I then stop the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" and "IIS Admin
Service" services and do "nbtstat -RR" the name *can* be resolved.

4. If I then start the above services and again do "nbtstat -RR" the
name again fails to be resolved.

So presumably there's still an issue if it's not case sensitive.

Am I missing something or should I file it in Bugzilla.

Thanks in advance for any help,


Leon...
