Do you have "wins support = yes" in smb.conf?

Are your clients configured with the samba server IP address in the WINS
server address place in the TCP/IP settings?

Have you read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf? Refer to page 55!
Can I say more plainly that XP Home does not support Domain membership?

I do not understand what buttons you are referring to? Please explain. I'd
like to help you, but my crystal ball (guessing machine) is completely
worn out.

Hi,

I upgraded first to samba rc 4 and now to the newest CVS Version, because
all my Windows XP Professional Clients cannot browse the network neigborhood
anymor. Also mapping is not possible.

What have I done wrong???

I have installed the Registry-Keys and all are domainmembers.
Windows XP Home does work. Something to do with domain settings???

        security = user
        domain logons = yes
        os level = 64
        domain master = yes
        preferred master = yes
        local master = yes
        time server = yes

# LOGON STUFF
        logon script = logon.bat
        logon drive         logon home         logon path         template
homedir
Ah, and I cannot remove the boxes from the domain via windows, because I
don't see the button anymore in windows xp.

Can you help???

Sascha

Hi again,

I tried all you said, but now I found the problem, I think.
It has nothing to do with wins or not. My dns works very good and is
definetly not missconfigured. But when I change in smb.conf security
"domain" to "user", as described in the how-to's, the
windows xp
professional boxes (not the home versions) don't find any share-names. Wins
is configured on this box.
If I switch back again to security = domain, everything works again, but in
network neighborhood I see the server as BDC and not, as is configured, PDC.

That's since my update to CVS 3.0.1pre1. Is there a bug maybe or ajust a
change I don't know about?

Thank you for helping.

Greetings

Sascha
