Hmm.. SMB ( Server Messaging Block ) connectivity is not your problem. I have an old Beige G3 Macintosh running Mac OS Tiger 10.4 and have no problem with Microsoft DNS resolving names, as a matter of Fact at Grand Central Communication we had well over 10 G5's with Panther 10.3 and our Internal DNS was hosted on the Active Directory 2000 controllers, and they also had no problems with our Linux and Solaris systems. This really sounds like a problem with your installation on your Macintosh. What type of Macintosh and what version of the OS are you running. Are you running NT 4 servers requiring WINS or is everything Windows 2000 or 2003?
