1.) .net is an official TLD. Do not make up nonregistered names in it.
Use names that were created for this purpose. See RFC 2606, quoting :
To safely satisfy these needs, four domain names are reserved as
listed and described below.
.test
.example
.invalid
.localhost
That is surprising. I chose 'localdomain.net' thinking it would somehow or other
something I was meant to do.
I now just have 'localdomain' as my domain name, and it works happily.
Does this mean I don't actually need a TLD part at all?
Again, I recommend using a Windows client for tests, because :
- it works
- it is simple
When it works, you can go and set up the other clients.
I will be testing with windows when I try getting samba up and running.
Hopefully it will work and be simple then too!
Thanks
