I know this must have been answered 3 million times, but I can't find it. I need to have some windows 2000 machines on a different network connect to our Samba PDC. The few documents that I've read said that a Wins server will resolve the issue, but they don't explain any more than that. I have wins support Yes in the smb.conf, and I have the IP of the samba server in the Wins of the Win2K box, but it still doesn't find the domain. Is there something else that I need to configure? TIA Rick

No .. there's no firewall. The samba server is at 192.168.51.3, and the workstation I'm working with is at 192.168.50.120. Everything seems to be routing across the networks just fine. I can FTP to the server and browse web pages there on the machine. I have 192.168.51.3 set as the primary Wins server on the 2000 box and I checked again to verify that wins support = Yes was set. All of the 2000 boxes that are on the local network work just fine. I also checked that the TCP/IP NetBIOS helper was running on the client, and as is par with most of my problems, everything looks just fine.

Rick, What is in your smb.conf file? Do you have: domain logons = yes domain master = yes os level = 33 (or more) Cheers, John T. On Tue, 3 Jun 2003, D.

AH HAH! The workstation CAN'T see the Samba server when I try to browse it using \\SAMBA_SERVER ! hmmmmm. The /etc/samba/lmhosts file has this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.51.3 SAMBA_SERVER and I have wins support = Yes in the /etc/samba/smb.conf and 192.168.51.3 as the Primary Wins server on the workstation as well as the Primary and Secondary DNS servers for our Internet service. Is there something else I need to set up for this? Man .. this has gone from one problem, to a completely different one! ;-) Thanks again for your help, Rick> My suggestion would be to make sure your workstation can resolve the UNC > of the samba server.
