AIX 5.1 / Samba 2.2.5 / Active Directory DNS & WINS servers
The Samba server is only a client and is not configured to be a WINS / DNS /
PASSWORD server to PCs. It passes all these requests to W2K AD.
Problem: The Samba server cannot be seen in Network Neighborhood / My Network
Places when browsing.
Debug: Samba server has a valid name / IP address entry(s) in DNS and WINS.
Can get to shares by using the "Net command(s) (i.e. net view
\\sambaserver, net use x: \\sambaserver\sharename) from the PC command line
This is a new installation - tried mirroring settings from an OLD AIX 4.3 /
Samba 2.2.3 environment.
Suggestions on what to look at in problem determination and the resolution would
be appreciated.
