Hi everyone, I'm using samba 2.07 under Redhat linux 7.1, and the linux server has an internal IP addr. number. I use Windows 98, XP as clients to connect to samba and map drive; Everything work fine, however, everytime the internet is down then I can't logon to samba at all. If the internet is down and I restart the Windows machines to log on to the workgroup (samba) then it gives me an error message as "No domain server was available to validate your password. You might not be able to access to some network resources". Is there a way that I can setup Samba to work in a LAN environment only (not dependable on the DNS or Internet)? Thank you very much in advance for your help. David N.
