can someone please help me with samba wins?
I'm very new to linux -
I VPN into my MS server using Fedora laptop dell400
My network that I'm on is 192.168.0.222
The VPN server has an internal address 172.16.0.2
My VPN is successful
I can ping 172.16.0.2 and even the router of the VPN server 172.16.0.1 and another computer 172.16.0.3 on that remote network (accorss the internet)
Anyway - so I'm setting up samba.
the VPN server is called BUCKY
the 172.16.0.3 is called BONUS
I cannot ping them by name
I have in smb.conf
wins server = 172.16.0.2
I had to change to interfaces = 172.16.0.0/24 because the dell400 got registered on the VPN/WINS server as 192.168.0.222
When I added interfaces = 172.16.0.0/24 it got registered correctly as 172.16.0.15 which is the PPP0 address on Dell400 (fedora)
I even added to the conf file the following:
name resolve order = wins
When I try to ping bucky I get:
[root@dell400 samba]# ping bucky
ping: unknown host bucky
It doesn't even wait to check with the wins server on 172.16.0.2. It immediatly tells me - host not found.....
Again - I can ping 172.16.0.2 which IS ----> Bucky
Any ideas?

nigrep
NIGREP(1) General Commands Manual NIGREP(1) NAME
nigrep - search for a regular expression in the NetInfo hierarchy SYNOPSIS
nigrep expression [ -t ] domain [ directory ... ] DESCRIPTION
nigrep searches through the specified domain argument for a regular expression. It searches the domain's directory hierarchy depth-first starting from the root directory. It can also start from each directory specified on the command line. The domain argument can be specified as an absolute or relative domain name. The domain argument can be specified as a network address or hostname and tag if preceded by the -t option. On output, nigrep prints the directory ID number of the directory which contains the regular expression, and the property key and values where it was found. A line is printed for each property that contains the regular expression. OPTIONS
-t Specify domain as a network address or hostname and tag. EXAMPLES
% nigrep '[Nn]et' / % nigrep '[Nn]et' -t 192.42.172.17/local % nigrep '192.[0-9]+.172' -t astra/network /machines % nigrep '/Net/server.*/Users' .. /users /mounts SEE ALSO
