I'm sure you guys/gals see a lot of these... but I've honestly tried and
tried (rtfm'd and such) until I'm frustrated beyond words. I'm
turning
here as a last resort before I resort to networking via wsftp as I have
been happily doing for quite some time now.
Any help, pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please
respond to me directly and if there is a way to do what I want/need, I'd
be more than happy to summarize to the list.

--- SITUATION ---
This is my home setup. I'd like to get some peecee network going.
I've managed UNIX/INTERNET networks for quite some time, so I know
that lingo and don't have any problems getting them going no matter
what the complexity. However, I have been completely denied any and
most all attempts to get a peecee network going -- even the simplest
of getting samba to do a single network reliably. I would appreciate
definitive answers as I have read the documentation for SAMBA (much of
it is out of date) and much of it doesn't help or gives
non-corresponding instructions.

Question: I would like to have two domains, one "business" on
bidask.com that only sees bidask.com ("BUSINESS") but
is available for browsing by any client such as TICKER,
NOMAD or BEDROOM (ie: eventually from dialup ip)
-- AND -- have anothe workgroup "SPY" or "PRIVATE" on
security.spy.org but have this one *not* be visible from
the bidask.com network (ie: dialup). Again, these are
two different class C (old style /24) networks. Is this
possible?
I mean, I'd really like to be able to hit network neighborhood
and see workgroups "BUSINESS" and "PRIVATE" and then when
I
select on one, get a login for that workgroup. I think this
is probably a very alien way of doing this for the peecee, so
I'm not against having to specify the workgroup all over the
setup of all the peecees -- in this case, there will simply
be one workgroup -- "SPY" and I'd like it to go across two
class C networks with one network being the master and the
other being a slave or subsidiary to the master with all
wins and user passwords going through the master.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO:
I am trying to set up a workgroup called ``WORKGROUP'' for
now. This will be served by BIDASK (bidask.com/206.206.178.2),
and will be a master domain (whatever) server as well as a
wins server (whatever) for *everything*. I have been unable
to get samba to run on security and on bidask and have them
talk to each other without one causing the other to disappear
(normally they *both* disappear). I ahve managed, once, to
get both SECURITY and BIDASK to both be "active" (but not appear
everywhere) and even when I could see the servers, I couldn't
browse them (error said couldn't find host? wins problem?)
PROBLEMS:
(1) Can't seem to get samba to allow browsing across networks.
(2) Can't seem to find machine names across networks.
(3) Can't make a lmhosts file (where is the documenation!!)
that works. Keeps ignoring domain tags (and line?) and
saying that file syntax was obsolete or there were too
many columns *and* if it did take a line, it would *not*
take a machine with an IP off the local network!
(4) I have different users and password on SECURITY and BIDASK
but I'm tired of getting the error message stating that there
wasn't a domain server to verify the login password -- ie:
the timeout was annoying and the error message moreso.
WHAT I WOULD APRECIATE:
(1) An example smb.conf showing a non-domain master (whatever)
for SECURITY with workgroup name "WORKGROUP" remote
syncing or advertising to BIDASK. An example smb.conf
showing a master + wins for BIDASK. This would, of course,
make security forward wins resolution to BIDASK and all
user logons would be via password (user level security?)
via the passwords stored on this server.
-- OR --
(2) Any refernce (url?) to a source that has *UP* *TO* *DATE*
*DOCUMENTATION* or *FAQ* or *HOWTO* on how to do this. I
have read cross network stuff under 1.9.18pl2/docs/BROWSING.txt
but this doesn't seem to solve the problem.
