neighborhood. I can access the domain, but I can't access either machine (my Win98 or the Samba server) on the domain. The error I get is: \\server is not available There are currently no logon servers available to the logon request. My Win2K machine is may work laptop and is registered on my work domain. Is this the problem? I have noticed that nmb will not stay running. This is how my network is setup: linux firewall/router: Bering LRP DNS server DHCP server linux server: Redhat 8.0 Samba server Domain controller NIS server everyday workstation: Win98 laptop: Win2K Thanks is advance, Minh __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
