Hi all, I have samba server 2.2.8a to act as a PDC on a mixed WinXP/Win2k/WinNT network. I joined all my workstations to the domain with no problem... And users can login into the domain and access their folders/printers, BUT!!! Every now and then they cannot log in getting error message that domain controller cannot be found.... I'm trying to track the problem down :-) When I went thru the DIAGNOSIS.TXT, test #5 fails: [root@homo bin]# ./nmblookup -B CMP0094 '*' querying * on 0.0.0.0 10.10.8.4 *<00> [root@homo]# (Server name is "homo", client is "CMP0094", the servers IP is 10.10.8.4, the clients ip is 10.10.8.79) Shouldn't the above lookup answer with the clients ip? I have 2 Win2003 servers as domain members as well. Can that be the problem? I mean it seems like Samba 3.x may be the more appropriate to server Win2003 systems? Thanks! Andrey.

[Samba] No NT domain controller is available problem
Audrey, How have you configured WINS? Have you read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf? You might benefit from reading chapter 9. Cheers, John T.
