I would recommend setting up WINS before doing lmhosts. But if this is a flat network you need to make sure that you windoze clients have NETBIOS over TCPIP enabled. It under WINS in 2000, not sure on others. Does NETBIOS support in SAMBA work? I've never tried it. Worst case setup one of you SAMBA servers as a WINS server. Then configure all servers and clients to point to it.

It MIGHT help if you changed the name of your samba server in smb.conf to match the name that the dns knows for your linux box. That's how I do it for my home network, and it seems to work. A name like static52 might work. Without a wins server, things don't work quite as smoothly, though. If there is no wins server on your network, you could set up your linux box as a wins server. (This might make people mad if it malfunctions and be seen as a major security threat by your admins and get you fired.)

Hello all! I am trying to compile a Samba Source 2.2.0a and when I am creating the Makefile, using GNU Configure, it send an error message asking for "seteuid method". Anyone knows what package I must install to solve this problem? Thanks in advance! Alvaro
More info! I've putted the %I in the server string parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf and in Network Neiborhood I saw that Windows think that I got the 0.0.0.0 ip adress... ...so it's for that I can't connect to //MGIRARD/.... But what can cause that ? I've checked the DNS and we have no dns name for each machine. All our sub-network isn't mapped by the dns... any Ideas ? Thx!!!>It MIGHT help if you changed the name of your samba server in smb.conf to >match the name that the dns knows for your linux box. That's how I do it for >my home network, and it seems to work.
