Ok, now when I run this command, I get...
[root at mis001 root]# nmblookup -R -U ipaddr.of.wins.server mis001
querying mis001 on 0.0.0.0
192.163.11.2 mis001<00>
[root at mis001 root]#
Which is the correct answer. However, I still cannot access the server
using the hostname. I have also tried putting my hostname/ip in my
lmhosts file on Windows and it still won't recognize the hostname.
Again, here is my conf file.
[global]
workgroup = DFJ
netbios name = mis001
server string = MIS Catia Support Server
security = SHARE
password server = lr-dc01
encrypt passwords = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
read raw = No
name resolve order = wins host bcast
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
SO_KEEPALIVE
load printers = No
lm announce = Yes
wins server = 192.161.200.1
kernel oplocks = No
ldap ssl = no
preload = Yes
guest ok = Yes
ldap ssl = no
Here's one fruitless command....
C:\Documents and Settings\waltersd>net view \\mis001
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
C:\Documents and Settings\waltersd>
After another...
C:\Documents and Settings\waltersd>net view \\mis001
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
C:\Documents and Settings\waltersd>
Someone already suggested I upgrade to the latest Samba and I'd like to
do that, but since this is a production box and users are continually
accessing the shares, I don't want to upset everything by taking down
the system for an update. If it starts to look like I've exhausted
everything else, I will notify my users and come in over the weekend and
upgrade, but I really feel like this should be fixable without needing
to upgrade Samba.
