Dear all, I am new to Samba/Unix and am experiencing a great amount of frustration making my new NT Server 4.0 talk to Samba/Unix. . My background is in NT with moderate Unix admin. I joined this company 3 weeks ago & of course, the network was set-up by an consultant a year ago and any docs about the setup is nowhere to be found. Never knew Samba 'tiI I came in this company. Our network has a SCO Unix v5.0, Linux server , Win 95 and NT Server w/c we are trying to add. Here are the configs: SCO Unix : IPaddress: 192.1.1.1 Primary WINS Server 192.1.1.1 ( from winipcfg of win 95 ) subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Linux Server: IP address: 192.1.1.254 ( gateway) Win 95 W/S: Runs on DHCP ( Sco Unix has list of IP addresses hard coded in hosts file.) Output of winipcfg is the ff: DNS Servers 192.1.1.254 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.1.1.254 DHCP server: 192.1.1.1 Primary WINS server: 192.1.1.1 Samba is configured in the SCO server. SMB.CONF look like this: [global] domain logons = yes domain master = yes guest account = nouser os level = 34 security = user server string = SCO Openserver 5 System workgroup = allied_ho wins support = yes [netlogon] browseable = no path = /u42/home/%u writeable = no guest ok = yes [dos] comment = Shared dos filesystem path /u41/dos create mode = 770 writeable = true ............. I skipped the rest of the config, that I think is irrelevant. Problem: 1. All workstations cannot see the NT server from network neighbourhood. NT server is not a domain controller, but plain server that will share its resources. All w/s can see each other including the Samba server. 2. NT server cannot see any of the Win95 W/S and the Samba/Unix server from its network neighbourhood. It can only see itself if I manually configure the TCP/IP setitngs, otherwise if to be obtained from DHCP then error message like" Cannot find DHCP controller" comes. I edited the hosts file in the SCO Unix box and hard coded the ipaddress for the NT server. I have also created the same user/password in UNIX and NTand tried to use that user in logging from NT. Pinging the NT Server from the win 95 w/s does not work either. I have also tried the recommendation in Easy Does it Technologies on Networking Setup for Windows NT 4.0 PCs and still no success. Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Jeffrey Almeda , Systems Administrator Allied Blower & Sheet Metal < jalmeda@alliedblower.com >
