Hello from Austria,
We are running LINUX (Suse 6.2) with samba 2.0.5a without troubles in one
subnet. Conecting machines (NT4.0, SP5) from an other subnet, i always get
the message "...unable to find the domain-controller..." (the message
is in
german, sorry for no translation, but i think you know what the message
tells me). The problem don't appears when connecting the machine in the same
subnet as the samba-server.
The problem appears sometimes with SMC8432-NIC's and always with Notebooks
with a 3Com Megaherz-NIC (i don't think, that this is important). After
pressing ok to this message, the network-access is possible (ping,
telnet, rlogin,mail,...) Also a net use command from the client is possible.
I've set up the lmhosts and the hosts-file on the clients like the following
lines:
lmhosts:
89.0.0.8 tiland-8 #PRE #DOM:tiroler
hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
89.0.0.8 tiland-8 tiland-8.tiroler.at
the ip-add of the samba is 89.0.0.8
the name of the samba is tiland-8
the name of our domain is tiroler
this two files are on the clients in the
winnt/system32/drivers/etc/-directory
any hints, what we are making wrong??
gerry
