Hi, here's the deal: i succeed in joining a samba server to ADS, wich is, wbinfo -u wbinfo -g wbinfo -t getent passwd getent group kinit net ads join all work.... when i try to connect from a windows domain member using \\<ip address> everything works fine and i can access the shares, depending on my valid users parameters, of course. But when i try to do the same thing by issuing \\<netbios-name> or browsing Network Neighborhood it doesn't even show the shares complaining "\\<netbios-name> is not accessible" or something like that. If i try to 'ping <netbios-name>' from the same windows box the resolution goes fine. i saw other postings about this but it isn't clear whether it's a samba bug or misconfigured parameters. Any tips??? perhaps something is not being reported correctly to the master browser... Thanks in advance... Dave.... _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
