Follow-Up to my Solaris->NT issue (was: Samba Solaris->NT connection problem)
Hello again, folks! There is one thing I neglected to mention on the Solaris->NT connection issue I posted earlier today, and which I believe is the source of the problem. Two days ago, I "inherited" a NT server which I now use as my workstation. I physically moved that NT server from one place to the other (i.e., unplugging all the cabling -- power, Ethernet, etc.) so that I can be on it at all times like I am now. However, prior to that, I did not learn until just now (file under, "Now you tell me";-) that this NT box likely served as the fileserver/master domain of our workgroup. Since moving that NT box, that is when I believe we lost our samba connections to the Solaris boxes. Please note that my background is primarily Solaris & Digital UNIX, with a fairly light background in NT (more as a user than an admin; you won't mistake me for a MCSE). So...would the problem be in this case the master domain browser of the NT side? To those NT experts, if you have any idea, please email me at jwood@webontap.com. Again, I thank you in advance.
