Hello everybody, it's a few minutes that i've subscribed in your mailing list. nice to meat all of you. I have samba on redhat 8 as a file server for a couple of "win98" & "winXP"'s.It work's for my XP OS's but I don't know how to join the "win98" 's in. please help me thanks payam.
Payam, How is Samba configured? (If you could cut and paste or attach your smb.conf file in a reply, we can help you out much better.) Is Samba setup to act as a Domain Controller or a simple workgroup configuration? Have you run any updates on the Windows 98 machines? Are the windows 98 machines in the same workgroup as the workgroup you set in your smb.conf file? Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

Payam, You should definitely pick up a copy of O'Reilly's "Using Samba" book. The book is immeasurably useful, even though it is slightly out of date, due to its explanation of how the SMB protocol works and the section regarding setting up a Samba PDC for the various MS Operating Systems. What I believe to be your issue right now, is that you need to have an LMHOSTS file setup and also have your Samba server acting as a "WINS" server. Once you have that configured, it is a simple matter of pointing each Windows 98 based machine to the Samba server as the "WINS" server. At that point, you should be able to join the domain. There is a good deal of information that you need to write into the LMHOSTS file for Windows 98 machines to see and understand what your Domain Controller is. One thing you need to do is add the line 'wins server = <ip address of your server>' into your smb.conf file. Once that is done, you need to create an LMHOSTS file. This file needs to have a small number of lines detailing the IP Address of your server then resource identifiers, like server/domain name along with a resource type... For example; 192.168.254.22 super#1b 192.168.254.22 batman#1d 192.168.254.22 batman#20 192.168.254.22 batman#1c Line one states that the machine at IP Address 192.168.254.22 is the Domain Controller for the 'super' domain. The line with '1d' in it states that the server is a Master Browser. The next line with '20' in it makes the server broadcast it is a fileserver. The '1c' designates the server as a logon server. Once you have all that in place, those Windows 98 machines should be fine with connecting to your domain. Note: The above resource names are NetBIOS names. So, the Windows machines will require the NetBIOS protocol be installed on them as well. Hopefully that will take care of your issue. Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.

thanks alot for your help
but the problem still exists.
when I add the line:
wins server = 81.31.169.51
in my smb.conf the 'nmb' does not restart
somebody told me that this line makes your server a samba client and
'nmb' does not permit being samba server and client...
anywhere... as I said my samba works for XP but not for "win98"
It has really made me cofused!
It's a week that I'm working on it morning to night
why doesn't it work for 'win98' while it answers to XP??
I'm sorry, I don't want to bother you but if you think that you can give
me useful notes "PLEASE HELP", please lead me.
I forgot to say:
- all of my computers have valid IP's
- my LINUX server has a domain name (werc.sharif.edu)
thats all
sorry
thanks
payam
