samba - May 1998 - samba domain issue

:')
I have a small block of addresses allocated by the ISP.  In order to 
conserve those addresses, I have constructed a Linux box (2.0.33 
SuSE 5.1) to do IP_masq.  (Works wonderfully.  SuSE is the best kept 
secret in the Linux community.)  Problem is related to Samba.  I MUST 
be able to relocate NT clients behind my Linux system. I have tried 
several different methods of configuration for the Linux system, but 
I don't seem to be able to afford my (Win95 & Win3.11) clients 
TRANSPARENT access to the 4 file servers (NT 4.0) in the domain.


At this point I have Linux configured for the same domain as the 
servers, Local Master, Preferred Master but NOT Domain Master.
I can see the PDC, but cannot access it from behind the Linux box.  I 
CAN see all shares on the Linux system.  When I start up Win95, it 
does run the logon script (on Linux box), but none of the drive 
mappings exist after the script exits.

Help.

Hi

Did I get that correctly, that your main problem is, that your nt servers
are on the "internet-side" of your linux-masquerading-sever, and the
win95-clients are on the private one?. You could either try to get your
linux-server to route those priver ip-address to the nt-servers(don't know
fi this is possible), or you could try auto-ip-forwarding.

BTW, I think Debian is the best kept secret in the linux community - It's
certainly the best distribution I found until now.
