Hi folks, I have tried for almost a month.(a few hours here and there) to connect my linux box to my company's network. I have even purchased the "Samba: Intergrating UNIX an Windows" book, but all of my attempts have been futile. I cannot for the the life of me get my system to work. Of couse I have noticed what I want to do is a bit different from all of the documentation that I read but here it is. Any help is greatly apprecated. I have a linux box that wants to connect to a Microsoft centric network. The NT servers are DHCP, behind a Proxy network. I have administrative access to one domain controler, but not the company domain controler. I do however have a company account. The proxy server lies on the company domain. I am trying to connect to the lan so that my Linux box has telnet, ftp, HTTP access. Even let my Linux box be visible to the Browsers. I have my Linux Box working with DHCP so I can ping myself, from a remote box, I can also ping my Linux box. However I cannot get samba to work over the network. Does anybody have a clue as to what I can do to get my box to see the outside world? Thanks in advance -- Xavier Plasencia Manager of QA Tools and Process Development Motiva Software Corp.
