Hi All,

I have been trying in-vain to get a Mickeysoft WINS NT
Server working through a NATD interface on FreeBSD
3.4-S. (all on a local network... don't ask!!
...TCP/IP re-addressing a large network)

NATD works fine for DNS, but I believe that WINS
includes some details of the source IP address in the
packet data area (??session layer??). Consequently,
when NATD translates the packet at the
network/transport layer the information for WINS is
mis-matched, and the PDC or BDC can not be located.

A bit of a hang-over from the NetBEUI days..... I
should think????

Has anyone been able to find a solution or know more
about this problem, I have spent weeks on-&-off trying
to get MS to behave.

ps. I second the ruling on the MS fine. :)

Help?

Thanks

Greg
