I have configure one of my VL5.9 STD as a samba server. Before this it is using DHCP for the network connection. But now I have change to using static IP. What is the method to manual key in the WINS setting for it? Below is my rc.inet1 script.....
#!/bin/sh
# This file is supposed to be created by vnetadd
# and modified by vnetset.
# You can modify it by hand, but be careful ;-)

## The settings
DEVICE='eth0'
DHCP='no'
IPADDR='10.0.9.240'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
GATEWAY='10.0.9.1'
PROBE='no'

## The script
## You may make customized script here
## If not, source the standard network
. /etc/rc.d/functions-network "$@"
EDIT: Strangely now I can access my VL samba server without the WINS setting. Does that mean I no need WINS for hostname resolve?
PS: My company still using WINS for hostname resolve.....
this is my /etc/nsswitch.cong

# The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an

# Legal entries are:

# nisplus or nis+ Use NIS+ (NIS version 3)
