WINS problem

[Alex Lavrov]

Hello!
We have hpux 11.11 server srv1.alex.org, that had IP, 1.2.3.4, then we changed the IP to 1.2.3.5, but when I'm telneting it with a short name, srv1, I see that it's resolved to the old IP, and when I'm telneting the full name, srv1.alex.org, I get the right IP.
We checked the DNS, it was ok, but network admin said, that it did not change it's IP in the wins server.
I think it's the samba (CIFS) on the server, but I don't know how to make him refresh itself in the wins server.

Any ideas?

thanx

Hi,

Change in samba directory LMHOSTS file (samba/lib/LMHOSTS), it contains IP - netbios name, and correct the address.
