I set up a SAMBA as standalone and basically everything I want it to do it does, but nevertheless I get this error message:
process_name_release_request: unicast name release request received for name IPNSPAIN<1e> from IP 192.168.5.10 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. Error - should be sent to WINS server

Does anybody know where it comes from?

My smb.cnf looks like this.

workgroup = IPNSPAIN
netbios name = WKSTN01
server string = IPN SAMBA
hosts allow = 192.168.5. 127.0.0.1
printcap name = cups
disable spoolss = Yes
show add printer wizard = No
printing = cups
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
......

Thanks

What happens if you allow Samba to be the wins server? I believe the line in the smb.conf file needs to be WINS server=yes.

I'm not home now, or I would verify it for you. Just wondering if it will solve it's own problem that way?
