Installation and Upgrades / Ebox as WINS server - newbie question -SOLVED
« on: May 29, 2009, 11:41:51 am »
Hello,
I am rather fresh linux user, so please be patient
I am currently integrating 3 remote LANS in one VPN tunelled network using Mikrotik routers. Things are going OK.
The main problem in tunelled ethernet LANs is bad performance of Windows name resolution.
So I intend to establish a simple linux machine to act as WINS server ( to by configured along with router's DHCP server )
So my question is: how to make Ebox to act as WINS server in my network ? By far as I understood there should be put into samba.conf:
[global]
wins support = yes
name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast
How to do it ?
Regards

I worked it out. Now my windows network works like a charm
In case any1 needs that solution: You must edit samba.conf file and make shure, that following lines are present ( in case of absence: add them )
wins support = Yes
local master = Yes
os level = 99
preferred master = Yes
Byt the way: it would be great to have it in EBox admin interface as it is faiirly easy to do
