[Samba] Samba and Wins (winbind) problem on clients

Hello everyone!

I'm facing some problems here, that maybe someone faced the same and could
help me.

I have a samba server (domain name: SMBDOM) that is working as a wins server
too. This server has 2 interfaces, 192.168.1.1 and 10.1.1.1.

My client's network is 192.168.1.x *BUT* when I put the Windows 98 clients
on the Domain (only 98, in XP is OK), the netbios name/ip of my samba is
SMBDOM -> 10.1.1.1, when the correct would be SMBDOM 192.168.1.1 .

I'm correcting the problem by editing the c:\windows\lmhosts file, but the
problem is on server, isn't it?

My wins server (nmbd) is sending the wrong ip (10.1.1.1) instead of the
right one (192.168.1.1) to the clients.

The "interfaces" and "bind interfaces only" directive are setted up to my
192.168.1.1 interface, but it's not working as well.

Well, that's it, thanks in advance for any help.

Best,

Steve
