Hi all, Is it possible to run Samba without netbios and only use DNS. Trying to figure out a way to run DDNS on the network. Thanks P --- Petter T. Olsson Consultant/Advisor II Cornell University Veterinary College CPPS/DCS Ithaca, NY 14853-6401 (607) 253-3411

This doesn't work for 'special' names - like domain master browser, pdc etc - but for normal hostname lookups it works nicely.
