The service does run fine over my two ethernet networks. However, when WINS (run via Samba) tries to determine if there is WINS service running on the lp0 (Parrallel Point-to-Point connection) it fails on the broadcast. There is no 192.168.2.255 broadcast address available to send packets to. I am under the assumption that because there is no way to determine if a WINS server is allready running on that interface. Because no WINS server can be contacted, WINS is forced to fail to announce that it becomes the WINS server on that interface. Is there any way to add a reference to "bravo (192.168.2.2)" to the WINS tables? If I have forgotten to mention anything, please let me know.
