Add the following to your ifconfig in /etc/rc: -wins

Example of one which has WINS and one which does not: ifconfig e9 10.100.4.133 netmask 255.255.255.0 partner 10.100.4.134 -wins ifconfig e5 10.56.10.133 netmask 255.255.255.0 partner 10.56.10.134

I received the following message [nbns_timer:error]: WINS Server [our wins server IP address] is not responding to registration of 10.254.2.2

then the following message every hour: [nbns_timer:error]: No WINS servers are responding; still trying

It started when I activated one of the previously unused interfaces on my Quad Fast Ethernet card. The interface in question is attached to a cross-over cable to a sun server, There are no WINS (Or any other microsoft protocol) servers on it.

As far as I can see, everything is working correctly. All other interfaces are properly registered with our WINS servers. Everything on the NT side of the network can access the Filer without any problems.

Is there any way to stop this message from repeating forever? It's rather irritating.
