samba - Jul 2002 - Samba Server - WinNT Domain

I successfully joined my Redhat Linux 7.2 box to my Windows NT domain. I can
ping it's IP address but not its Netbios name. I have it set to obtain the
IP address form the NT DHCP.

Also on the RH Linux box, when I try to browse the local network, I receive
the error: Unable to connect to host localhost. My samba configurations are
okay. And I have the nameserver set in the resolv.conf file (the nameserver
is the local NT PDC)

Please help.

if you are using the LAN browsing in Konquerer then
you should setup LISa first.

About that browsing problem - you do know that you have to have a valid
guest account in /etc/passwd for browsing to work, don't you? I had this
problem too about a week ago. Windows connects to IPC$ as a guest. Also, you
might want to upgrade to 2.2.5, because I got the browsing to work on ly
after upgrade.
