Roger,
The information you have provided does not permit us to help you due the
sparsity of the information provided.
Please refer to my book "Samba-3 by Example, 2nd Edition" for complete
network
solutions that were built using SuSE 9.3 Professional. Each chapter fully
documents step-by-step procedures to implement the complete network discussed
there in.
This book can be purchased from Amazon.Com by searching for ISBN: 013188221X.
Alternately, you can download a PDF of the current book from:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf
If you still have troubles when you have carefully followed the examples shown
there please write to me directly at jht@samba.org.
Cheers,
John T.
