NethServer Version: NethServer release 7.3.1611 (Final)
Module: Samba
Hi all, I recently went to nethserver 7, before I used nethserver 6.8 that didn’t give any kind of problem.
Now with nethserver 7, My computers often disconnect themselves from the network, causing problems that are: Computers don’t connect to the internet and their don’t find shared folders on samba.
Logs in / messages spammed this error:
Do you have a WINS server configured? Do your clients require a WINS server?
IIRC nethserver 7 does not act as WINS server (by default). WINS is not recommended (by Microsoft) and in Active Directory DNS is required.
I set the server wins to share folders, the wins address is passed to clients via dhcp, but I do not understand what is the problem.
@michele reports client networking problems. I see some attempts to talk to a WINS server in the attached log excerpt. He confirms the DHCP server pushes a WINS configuration.
I have no idea what the problem is, but I think WINS should not be used at all.
If you can remove it, I suggest so…
I guess it depends on individual clients. Perhaps they stop to spam when their leases are renewed. Let’s wait and see…
After a few days, the network seems to be better but spam in the logs continues to persist.
