Hi, I've got a MSAccess database on a linux server (fedora core 5, samba 3, 192.168.0.90) which a Win XP client machine needs to use (192.168.0.50). However, Access refuses to open the database because "it's not on the LAN so is a security risk". How can I configure Samba so that Windows recognises 192.168.0.90 as a local machine, please?

You might be able to set this in the security parameters - I'm not 100% sure as I am in the happy position of never having to use XP for anything (other than testing Samba :-). Jeremy.
All, Re yesterday's problem, I've discovered that winbindd isn't running and falls over as soon as it's restarted. I'd guess that my original problem is something to do with that. -----Original Message----- From: Donovan, Jim Sent: Monday, May 08, 2006 12:32 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] overzealous Windows security Hi, I've got a MSAccess database on a linux server (fedora core 5, samba 3, 192.168.0.90) which a Win XP client machine needs to use (192.168.0.50).
