Hello everyone: First let me say that I'm a Linux newbie. I have a three machine network consisting of a linux server (dual NICs, running DNS, DHCP and IP masquerading) and two NT workstations. TCP/IP is running ... both NT boxes can connect to the internet through the Linux server. Pings work all the way around). I'm attempting to configure Samba to share files with the workstations and I'm stuck because the NT workstations do not successfully browse the Samba Server. I've installed the latest Samba from Samba.org, followed the HOW-To and also tried the instructions from two different Linux texts. Samba appears to be running properly when I run the test from the linux box. I've set the encrypt = yes because sooner or later clear text will likely go away. I'm a little confused about the whole process for nmbd, NetBios, and it's interaction as a WINS server. I've built an lmhosts file ... but since I have DHCP, what about the changing (potentially) IP addresses. I do not have a PDC in the network. I intend to ultimately use Samba for that. There are messages in the nmb log saying that one of the clients is contacting it and wants to be the browse master BUT nmb wants to be the browse master. I configured SWAT and wiped out the original smb.conf but I'm in the process of re-extracting it from the tar file. I'm hoping that the original file will help me get all of the necessary configs correct. Any suggestions? Which is "the best" set of instructions (How-To) to get this going? Is there a good document that describes the whole interaction between Linix and NT in the Samba environment? Thanks in advance for any help.
