Hello all, I have samba running ok (logon, file and print sharing)and when I run the 11 tests in diagnosis.txt, everthin works fine except.. 1. I can ping from win98 to linux server using host names, but can only ping from linux to win98 by ip address. 2. nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*' returns the address of the server, not the workstation.
both these errors point to dns not being configured correctly, but I was under the impression that DNS is only used on 'real' servers, not home lans. btw. I am also using dhcp, so I can use my laptop at work and home, when I last asked a similar question, it was suggested I use a host file, but don't see how that is possible with dhcp. thanks... ================================================================ Colin Jenkins ICQ: 650611 registered linux user 223862 To be or not to be is true.
