But it's worth the expense of a wins server? Or are you saying that it's ok with silly microsoft broadcasts (smb)?Originally Posted by qferret

Thanks javiwwweb... worked perfectly as described.
I have ubuntu working as a DDNS server.. and there is no extra hardware in my mix . I can ping hostname and IP address effortlessly. The method described above seems to get the job done no problem.Originally Posted by qferret
For all of those running DAPPER and getting SEG FAULT of the WINBIND in the REPOS use this WINBIND which fixes that:

I got it from this bug report:

Check this... I thought everything was working perfectly but now I've come across this.
I am using DHCP assigned by my router (Dlink DI-624). The server is a static DHCP assigned IP. At random, or so it seems, I cannot find the server by hostname. It is always available by it's IP.
Example:
I ping SVR1... I get 192.168.1.101
At some random time later I ping SVr1, I get 192.168.1.2 (correct IP)
At some random time later I ping SVR1, I get 192.168.1.103
This is not a huge deal since this is on a small home network and I know the server IP address. But it is frustrating.
Along with the DHPC, I have Ubuntu setup as the only wins server, and it's te only linux pc on the network. Also, just for the record, I have changed all the windows pc's to not maintain network browser lists:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Par ameters\MaintainServerList = FALSE
Any ideas?
Help! I thought this was the answer, but it isn't repeatable for me.
I have two ubuntu PCs on my network, both running 5.10. I made these changes to the first PC (updated /etc/nsswitch.conf, installed winbind), and it works great. I can ping the second PC using its hostname.
I thought my problem was solved until I went to do it to the second machine, and it doesn't work. I updated the nsswitch.conf file, installed winbind, and nothing changed! I mean, when I try ping the first machine from the second, I still get
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?ping: unknown host: hostname
I've been looking for this kind of solution for ages, thanks.
Any ideas how to get the the arp cache to show hostnames as well?
