(Please take this to samba@lists.samba.org <mailto:samba@lists.samba.org> , it's not a development issue.) Try defining the IP address for "CAT" in your /etc/lmhosts file. Your WINS server may not be supplying good information. Also, try to ping CAT at its IP address. It doesn't appear to be reachable from where the Samba server is. -----Original Message----- From: kevin.clarke@lister-petter.co.uk [mailto:kevin.clarke@lister-petter.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 8:50 AM To: samba-technical@lists.samba.org Subject: Samba connecting to NT PDC Have a problem connecting Samba 2.2.7 on Redhat Linux 7.2 to a Win NT 4 PDC.
