I'll try to test Samba in order to put on our network as file server. But actually I have some problem to join a client to a samba server domain. The message from windows client (W2K) is the follow: "The following error occurred validating the name "DOMAIN". This condition may be concerned by a DNS problem. For information about troubleshotting concern DNS lookup problems, please see the following Microsoft Web Site: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=5171" I've read another similar problem on samba mailing list, but it's not clear how to resolve. Stephan Nicolini Thanks a lot
