If we specify ip addresses, instead of host names will this remove DNS server requirements?
We're running a firewall on this machine, however, I like to keep all SAMBA security in one place. BTW, I know we didn't have this issue with older installs as we've been using this technique for some time, however I believe this is first time we used hostnames & depended on the hosts file. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Buchan Milne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "John Schmerold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 3:19 AM Subject: Re: [Samba] Internet goes down.
