Wins name resolution
« on: July 31, 2021, 10:02:10 AM »
I cannot get wins name resolution to work in SME10.
I can ping <pc_name> from one pc to the other, but from the server i get the error

"ping: <pc_name>: Name or service not known."

In the past on SME9.2 I used the workaround of bug #7013 but that is not enough, am I missing some packages or configuration?
All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.

Have a read on SMB1 vs SMB3. Lots of threads here and covered in depth many times.

A good search will lead you to smeserver-wsdd.

...
1. Read the Manual
2. Read the Wiki
3. Don't ask for support on Unsupported versions of software
4. I have a job, wife, and kids and do this in my spare time. If you want something fixed, please help.

SME10 by default does not support SMB1 and Netbios name resolution (WINS), wsdd implements a Web Service Discovery which is better explained Here
