Cannot find my workgroup on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET

[cybert79]

Hi all,

In my messages log this error appears:

[2014/03/23 21:29:42.129224, 0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:591(collect_all_workgroup_names_from_wins_server)

My smb.conf file looks like:

[global]
workgroup = COLEMONT
server string = colemont.home
netbios name = hda
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
cups options = raw
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
log level = 0
max log size = 150
preferred master = yes
os level = 60
time server = yes
unix extensions = no
wide links = yes
security = user
username map script = /usr/share/hda-platform/hda-usermap
large readwrite = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
dos charset = CP850
unix charset = UTF8
guest account = nobody
map to guest = Bad User
wins support = yes


Can anyone who doesn't have this error post his smb.conf file so I can see what is wrong?

Not sure there is anything wrong here. Mine looks the same. Researching to see if there is any advice on quieting it. So far nothing helpful.
