I need to know if I need to rename my network 'WORKGROUP' to be able to share drives and printers with windows.
I've currently named my network 'natepuri.com.' It's not a registered name, yet. I'll register it when I get the money. Does samba require WORKGROUP? Or is that just a variable for whatever I want to call my network. Presently all tcp/ip connections over my LAN are very function. IP MASQ is functional as well. However, I have the client section in the network window in the control panel set to 'Log on the Windows NT domain.' Previously I had the 'Windows NT domain:' set to 'natepuri.com,' that didn't work so I set it to 'WORKGROUP' and that didn't work. I had 'Access Control' set to 'User-level access control' and first had the list of users set to 'natepuri.com' then to 'WORKGROUP.' Neither worked. I'm using 'client for microsoft networks.' Samba is running in daemon mode. When I boot windows, it says 'cannot log on to Windows NT domain, some network services will be unavailable.' (or something like that). What am I doing wrong? I've read the SMB HOWTO among others. The issues above still confuse me... Thanks... NatePuri Certified Law Student & Debian GNU/Linux Monk McGeorge School of Law [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ompages.com
