We have been running samba as a domain controller since the 2.0.x days (I think 2.0.6) on linux (currently 2.2.6 on Mandrake 8.2), never seen this problem (except a similar message when trying to join a machine that thinks it's in the workgroup of the same name ;-)). Ensure your clients 1)Look at your WINS server. This is most easily done via DHCP 2)Don't have IPX/NetBEUI installed 3)Don't have badly-configured firewalls installed, some of which have a default config which prevents wins from working Buchan - -- |----------------Registered Linux User #182071-----------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9v/BurJK6UGDSBKcRAoZ2AJ9IOAtr7tJtdfNgj8gDuzZmU8hxBgCgkXSs ozypTGafYB+O1HBZ5so79GM= =zgPj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
