Re: [MLUG] ping

Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf (I think that's the right file off the top of  
my head), and add wins to the lookups.  I think it's like:
"hosts:  dns files wins"
then, make sure your samba config file has the right wins server  
set.  i.e. /etc/samba/smb.conf add or set the following lines:
name resolve order = host wins bcast
wins server = 128.206.2.72 128.206.2.73

(someone else can check those wins settings - I think that's accurate  
off the top of my head).
