Follow-Up to my Solaris->NT issue (was: Samba Solaris->NT connection problem)
Hello again, folks!
There is one thing I neglected to mention on the
Solaris->NT connection issue I posted earlier today, and
which I believe is the source of the problem.
Two days ago, I "inherited" a NT server which I now use
as my workstation. I physically moved that NT server from
one place to the other (i.e., unplugging all the
cabling -- power, Ethernet, etc.) so that I can
be on it at all times like I am now.
However, prior to that, I did not learn until just now
(file under, "Now you tell me";-) that this NT box
likely served as the fileserver/master domain of
our workgroup. Since moving that NT box, that is
when I believe we lost our samba connections to the
Solaris boxes.
Please note that my background is primarily Solaris
& Digital UNIX, with a fairly light background in
NT (more as a user than an admin; you won't mistake
me for a MCSE).
So...would the problem be in this case the master domain
browser of the NT side? To those NT experts, if you
have any idea, please email me at jwood@webontap.com.
Again, I thank you in advance.

response to my original inquiry.
