samba - May 2001 - PDC Problem....

Hi,

I have a bit of a problem with a machine that is joining my Samba PDC.  The
machine joins the domain and I get the welcome to the XXXX domain message.  I
can then start the samba server and I can even see the machine and shares from a
win2k machine under network places.  The problem is though that if I try
clicking on the share it gives me a "the network name could not be
found".

I can list those shares also from smbclient. But if I try to connect I get a
"tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid
share name)"

My "secondary" machines config looks something like this.....

[global]
        netbios name = sec
        workgroup = XXXXX
        security = domain
        encrypt passwords = yes
        password server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[doc]
        comment = Doc Share directory.
        path = /docs
        public = yes
        writeable = yes
        printable = no

I'm using samba 2.2.0 on both the pdc and this machine.  The pdc btw. seems
to be working fine.  I can login with win2k machines etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Jaco Swart

Are you running WINS anywhere? Or how does your Win2k workstation see this
box? Also are you logged into the workstation after you joined domain, or
logged into the domain itself?
 
Thanks,
Trevor
