[Samba] Fw: PDC/wins on multiple networks

[Gaiseric Vandal]

I haven't used the remote annouce or wins proxy  feature-  I think that 
is for a samba server on one subnet to relay wins stuff to the Samba 
WINS server on another subnet.

The simplest thing is probably to have all clients-  regardless of 
subnet-  point to a single WINS server.  Your wins server should have 
"wins server=yes"  but don't use wins proxy.


It looks like remote announce is to make a samba server on one subnet  
show up on another subnet    that doesn't help the other machines see 
each other across subnets.

Alternately I THINK you can have a samba server configured a  wins 
server on one subnet (wins support=yes_ , and then have the samba server 
on the 2nd subnet configured as a wins client/wins proxy (wins proxy=yes 
, wins server = IP-of-the-wins-server.)

The "wins server" param is used to tell the machine to be a client of 
the specified wins server.
