[Samba] Do I need NETBIOS/NETBEUI on windows clients when samba is my PDC
Hi, I replaced my old Windows NT box runnig as PDC with a Cobolt Qube 3 and Samba-2.2.2-C1. Cobalt Linux version is 2.2.16C33_III+VPN. With the WinNT as PDC, all windows client's in the network had only TCP/IP protocol installed and they were able to browse the network and see each other. With Samba running as PDC, TCP/IP only is not enough to browse the network. I had to install NETBIOS or NETBEUI on windows client's machines in order to be able to see others. Do I really need NETBIOS/NETBEUI on the windows clients? Do I need WINS server running on Samba PDC as well? Thank you for the help in advance! best regards
