Hi, I'm going to scream. I have a "dell-installed" red hat 7.2 build and I have been attempting to get it to join my NT4.0 domain with samba... after getting past the old version of samba that shipped with it and updating to the latest samba from the samba web site, i still can't join my domain.... Here's the kicker: I CAN JOIN a test domain I set up a few weeks ago, NT4.0 SP 5 with nothing else installed, I CANNOT JOIN my REAL nt domain (4.0 sp6, all the latest microsoft "security" patches applied). Does anybody know what is wrong with my "real" nt server and how to fix it? The correct IP is 192.168.0.230-- i don't know if it matters but the PDC NIC has multiple IPs attatched to it, all on different subnets. T.I.A.
