Hopefully someone can help me. I've been running a windows 2000 Workstation and Server.
This spring I added a Linux workstation (Red Hat 7.2 - Samba 2.2.3a) to the network. Took some work but that is running fine. smb.conf seems to be giving me what I want. LAN addresses are assigned with DHCP. I have had several people tell me that they have a network running with static addresses. I DO NOT have a domain controller. While upgrading some machines, I decided to try a Linux server. Installed Red Hat 7.2 as a server. First installation of Samba was that distributed with Red Hat 7.2. I could read files on the windows machines but the W2K machines did not recognize the Linux Server. I could ping the address or server name and get a replay - just not available (Network Path Not Found) from windows. Even though I could "ee" the linux server in Netwrok Neighborhood. I tried upgrading to the latest Samba at the time - 2.2.5 -- still no luck -- even with smb.conf that is identical to the one on the workstation except for Netbios Name and Server String, identifiying the server. I appear to have a valid password file. This has been rebuilt a couple times. Here's a copy of the server smb.conf. I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
