samba - Nov 1999 - Problems with multiple samba servers on subnets

Hello,

we are in the process of moving from TAS to SAMBA, and as such are setting
up various servers. I have already successfully set-up and configured one
server running on Solaris 2.6 in a domain on an E10000. The problem we are
having is replacing other instances of TAS with SAMBA. We have so far
unsuccessfully tried to set up another SAMBA server on a Sparc1000 running
on the same subnet but with another network card. I have tried to go through
the DIAGNOSIS.txt file to run the various tests, but cannot get past test
no. 8 from a PC:

	c:> net view \\<SAMBA SERVER>

This has come up with different errors: 
	The remote procedure call failed
	Invalid network name
	etc
	
I checked this command against the first server I set up and it works fine.
So I copied the smb.conf file across and changed a few values, which again
when tested produced the same results above. If you are on the UNIX server
and issue a smbclient command, there are no problems. The same sort of thing
happened when I tried it on an another machine which was on a different
subnet, though the PC clients on this subnet can see it with no problem, yet
no-one else can.

Could somebody give me some clues as to where I am going wrong and point me
in the right direction to solve these problems.

I have enclosed the smb.conf file from the server that is on the same subnet
as the one that is working ok.

comment this out; this is useful if you use "security = domain" or
"security = server"

why not? comment this out.

browse list(G)
 
              This controls whether smbd will serve a browse list
              to a client doing a  NetServerEnum  call.  Normally
              set  to true. You should never need to change this.
              Default:      browse list = Yes


set up the guest account explicitly
guest account = <something>
guest account = ftp

What's TAS?
