wins server proxy to include in asl??

hello everybody,

i'm just on the old problem to call a wins- domain from a pc (win2k/xp) through asl--tunnel to a samba-server.
this can work as a wins-server as i read.
that part of it eaven should be abel to work as a proxy.

so my question is:
wouldn't it be really nice, if i could define the asl box aa wins-proxy, so i don't need any extra computer for this job?

or am i wrong on the idea of wins ?

kind regards from germany,
chris

why not using DNS instead of WINS...

i want to connect some win-pc's, located in building/network a) - with my samba server which together with some more pc's in a second building (and a second subnet) via asl-vpn.
i got it connected with the domain, but on login it say's: pdc not available.... ;(

the documentation of samba says, the included nmpd could act as a wins server, and also as proxy. can this just run on the asl-box???

sorry, my failure.... ;(

it's working now.
after connecting the pc with samba server, machine-account was NOT set to active, but inactive ..... no wonder it doesn't offer login...

i got the vpn-connection,
told the pc to use the wins server on the other network directly.
works fine. [;)]

built a dnat rule to forward broadcasts to the samba-server. don't know if this has any effect, will try that later if it still works without that [;)]

kind regards, chris
