[Samba] having a hard time diagnosting my samba server
guys, my workstation cannot see my domain samba server "TSAR" on the network. also when i tried my win98 to log into the said domain, it would echo: "No domain server was available to validate your password." i tried using the DIAGNOSIS.txt to find out what's wrong. i stop at test # 8, when i issue "net view \\QCTSAR", it would echo: "The computer name specified in the network path cannot be located." it suggests to: 1. fixup the nmbd installation. i installed the samba package (samba-2.2.8a-1) via RPM, how can i fix it up and what to fix? 2. add the IP address of QCTSAR to the wins server box. i didnt configure a wins server. 3. enable windows name resolution via DNS in the advance section of the tcp/ip setup already enabled, still no success. 4. add QCTSAR to your lmhosts file on the PC how to do this? notes: im using a red hat 7.3 server. please do help me, im in a brink to loose my job!!! eric __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
