Back Hello, I have a little problem and i was hoping someone might have a fix for it. my rh server hosts pptp connections to windows 2000 clients where, among other services, they get samba shares. Everything works fine the first time. If however i were to disconnect a client, and then when reconnecting, they get a different ip address, the nmbd wins server still retain the original ip address associated to their netbios name. For example: -WIN2K01 connnects to RHSERVER gets IP 192.168.0.102. -smbclient and all network requests are fine. -WIN2K01 disconnects. -WIN2K01 reconnnects to RHSERVER gets IP 192.168.0.103. -smbclient is still looking for WIN2K01 at 192.168.0.102 when it is in fact on .103
the refresh doesn't occur for a significantly long time that its easier to just explicitly say -I 192.168.0.103 with smbclient. Win2K can't do this though. Is there a way to force nmbd to reexamine all WINS name-ip associations whenever there is a new connection / disconnection??
thanks a lot! Pat
