samba - Nov 1998 - smbclient sees the virtual samba server but not the windows clients

Hello Again!

I now have a virtual host serving (almost) samba and a real one serving
samba under the original name.
On the local machine, I can access the the virtual host through smbclient
and smbmount. Everything seems all right.  Unfortunately, the virtual host
won't serve the windows-9x  machines.  The virtual (and real) host both
appear on the network browse list but when the win clients try to enter
the virtual host it will refuse to serve the clients (claiming unavailable
service).

The setup is that the real host has "wins support = yes", the virtual
points
to the real by "wins server = 192.168.0.4" and they both bind to their
own
interface only. The virtual host uses "netbios name = pico". Real
hostname is
"marvin". The WorkGroup is RI.
Everybody can connect to the real host (marvin) but only marvin (linux) can
connect to the virtual host. Everybody (win clients) can see both marvin and
pico  on the network.   I can't  figure out what is happening here.

I've included a short (maybe not that short) printout from the log. If
anybody
can see what happens here I would be grateful.

virtual hostname is pico,  192.168.0.40
real    hostname is marvin 192.168.0.4

Thanks in advance,

/jarek

Hi

please mail me your smb.conf and the output of ifconfig.

I don't know which unix you use, but I tried this once with linux, and
ran into trouble with shared librarys,... 
maybe, e.g, the guest accound does not work correctly in the
chrooted-environment, and thats why smbd does not work? (Just an idea, can
be completely wrong)

Well... nearly, I guess
