My home network uses Samba 2.2.7 as a PDC for a windows network running a mix of Win98 and Win2K machines. The domain name is JNCHOME. My office laptop, named MERCURY, is on the PRINCIPIA domain. I successfully configured PRINCIPIA as a trusted network for JNCHOME so that when I connect MERCURY to the JNCHOME network I get full access to all JNCHOME services. This has been working for many months. The office IS staff just renamed MERCURY as JCOLMAN. Now when I connect my laptop to JNCHOME I can no longer browse JNCHOME nor get access to any of its services. What do I do? I did try creating a new machine account for jcolman$ and then using 'smbpasswd -a -m jcolman' to add the machine but this did not help. So how do I get my renamed office laptop to gain access to my home network services? TIA! ...Jake -- Jake Colman Sr. Applications Developer Principia Partners LLC Harborside Financial Center 1001 Plaza Two Jersey City, NJ 07311 (201) 209-2467 www.principiapartners.com
