This is my second attempt to get some help.. maybe my first post was too complex, so I will simplify it and if you need more information you will ask me. I am quite stuck so I would really appreciate some help. I am trying to connect an NT box, mercury, to a RedHat 7.3 PDC, thor. When I try to logon to the domain from mercury I get an error msg on my NT box which says "the domain controller for this domain cannot be located." My smb.conf global section is: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP netbios name = THOR server string = Samba PDC %v %h max log size = 50 security = user smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd encrypt passwords = Yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Please*retype*new*password* %n\n *password*successfully*updated* os level = 65 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon home = \\%L\%u logon drive = H: logon script = netlogon.bat logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%u hosts allow = 192.168.1., 127. Mercury and thor are on their own private network, all other machines here are on 192.168.0. I cannot pinpoint the problem. When I try to log in from mercury, the samba log files on thor do not even register the attempt. It should be something simple, but I have been tweaking for 3 days and.... no success Help!
First simplify your smb.conf file so you can elimanate anything else that may conflict. Start with the bare minimum needed for a pdc. Try adding wins support = yes to have it act as a wins server.

Which makes me think that maybe your machine has two interfaces and samba's trying to bind to both.
