Hi,
I have a client with 2 Win98 out of 15 computers that refuse to see the server
when
they first turn them on in the morning. When they logon as a new user, not a
reboot, it connects and they work fine for the rest of the day. They can even
reboot whenever they want throughout the day and it works, but when they turn it
off
over night, the computers refuse to see the domain the next morning. Help.
One computer's IP is DHCP the other is static. The server OS is Slackware
9.0,
Samba 2.2.8a. I added the server netbios name and the domain name IP address to
the
workstations' local hosts file and I added those workstations' IP
addresses to the
server hosts file. I hard coded the network speed to 100/half duplex.
[global]
comment = Our server
workgroup = CCWGroup
netbios name = Master
server string = Samba Server 2.2.8a
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
wins support = yes
local master = yes
security = user
printing = bsd
load printers = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
guest account = pcguest
# Win9x needs this
logon script = %U.bat
# WinNT needs these
# logon script = logon.cmd
# logon drive # logon home logon path add user
script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g users -s
/dev/false -M %u
encrypt passwords = yes
debug level = 1
max log size = 50
log file = /var/log/samba.log
kernel oplocks = no
nt acl support = yes
csc policy = disable
write cache size = 262144
# socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
deadtime = 120
os level = 64
Thanks for trying.

Suggest you add to [globals] wins support = yes Then in your dhcpd.conf file add: options netbios-name-servers 'IP-addr-of-Samba-Server'; options netbios-node-type 8; Then on all hard coded IP address workstations set the IP of your Samba server as the WINS server address in the TCP/IP settings. That should help to getthings moving a little smoother. - John T.> > > [global] > comment = Our server > workgroup = CCWGroup > netbios name = Master > server string = Samba Server 2.2.8a > domain master = yes > domain logons = yes > wins support = yes > local master = yes > security = user > > printing = bsd > load printers = yes > printcap name = /etc/printcap > > guest account = pcguest > # Win9x needs this > logon script = %U.bat > # WinNT needs these > # logon script = logon.cmd > # logon drive > # logon home > logon path > add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g users -s > /dev/false -M %u > encrypt passwords = yes > > debug level = 1 > max log size = 50 > log file = /var/log/samba.log > > kernel oplocks = no > nt acl support = yes > csc policy = disable > write cache size = 262144 > # socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 > preserve case = yes > short preserve case = yes > deadtime = 120 > os level = 64 > > Thanks for trying. > > -- > Bob Crandell > Assured Computing > When you need to be sure. > bob@assuredcomp.com > www.assuredcomp.com > Voice - 541-689-9159 > FAX - 541-463-1627 > Eugene, Oregon > > >-- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org

It's the line after domain logons. I tried adding: options netbios-name-servers 192.168.254.250; options netbios-node-type 8; to /etc/dhcpd.conf but it said it was expecting an semicolon on both lines with: options netbios-name-servers 192.168.254.250; ^ options netbios-node-type 8; ^ I'll run over there this morning and add the wins address to the workstations. I'm always looking for wasy to make my life easier. What are your suggestions for the global section?

I just wanted to let you know that didn't work. I raised the logging level and all it shows is successful logins. I'm about 99% certian that the problem is with the workstation. Short of reinstalling Windows, I'm out of ideas.
