Yes, the server was fine. Or at least I couldn't find any evidence of problems. I tested it from other computers. Not sure how to test wins (by itself) from the faulty windows client though... I have since found out that the virtual host we used for wins was suffering from high swapping (due to a buggy program with a memory leak), so we are in the process of moving the WINS server to a real computer. Will be really interesting to see if this helps or not. Brian May |
