This is my second attempt to get some help.. maybe my first post was too
complex, so I will simplify it and if you need more information you will ask
me. I am quite stuck so I would really appreciate some help. I am trying to
connect an NT box, mercury, to a RedHat 7.3 PDC, thor. When I try to logon
to the domain from mercury I get an error msg on my NT box which says "the
domain controller for this domain cannot be located."
My smb.conf global section is:
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
netbios name = THOR
server string = Samba PDC %v %h
max log size = 50
security = user
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = Yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Please*retype*new*password* %n\n
*password*successfully*updated*
os level = 65
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon home = \\%L\%u
logon drive = H:
logon script = netlogon.bat
logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%u
hosts allow = 192.168.1., 127.
Mercury and thor are on their own private network, all other machines here
are on 192.168.0. I cannot pinpoint the problem. When I try to log in from
mercury, the samba log files on thor do not even register the attempt. It
should be something simple, but I have been tweaking for 3 days and.... no
success
Help!
First simplify your smb.conf file so you can elimanate anything else that
may conflict. Start with the bare minimum needed for a pdc.
Try adding
wins support = yes
to have it act as a wins server. Hope this helps.

Which makes me think that maybe your machine has two interfaces and samba's trying to bind to both.
