Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with samba v3.2.4 and windows vista. If I access my samba share via the ip address e.g. \\192.168.0.1\share <file:///\\192.168.0.1\share> windows will authenticate against the samba server and bring the share up, but if I use the dns name e.g. \\server.domain.local\share <file:///\\server.domain.local\share> i'm faced with the logon box. I am able to logon with the user I have created, but I find this annoying as it works one way but not another. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Regards Adam
Sorry to be a pain, but can anyone help me with this as it's starting to bug the hell out of me.

Please open the command line interface on your Vista box and type the following commands: ping server.domain.local ping server If that is successful, try the 'net use' command: net use server Peter
