samba - Dec 2001 - problems with samba's installation

Hello,

I try to install samba 2.2.1a-4, but when I am locate in a client PC I
always find this error:

"Samba server couldn't be available
the network way can't be found"

How could I resolv that???

Thank you.

I would walk through the DIAGNOSIS.txt document in the samba sources.
This may be a DNS problem. Can you log onto the server using an ip number
instead of a name?

You do not need a DNS.
I do not think the command
nmblookup -B samba will get you anything.
The command you need is something like:
nmblookup samba
or
nmblookup -B 192.168.0.255 (Or whatever your broadcast address is) samba
You could also add the samba host to your lmhosts file, I think.
