I didn't really have a say in this one. They moved my virtual machine with a whole bunch of servers to a remote location. :(
On a WinXP machine I tried setting the WINS server to 10.1.1.1 (the IP of the DC) and Enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Then on the Linux server end I set up a Samba 3.5.2 server and added this to my smb.conf: wins support = true name resolve order = lmhosts hosts bcast Then I set my LMHOSTS to: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.1.1.1 FORTISSIMO#20 10.1.1.1 CRCOMPUTER#1b 10.1.1.1 CRCOMPUTER#1c 10.1.1.1 CRCOMPUTER#1d 10.1.1.1 CRCOMPUTER#1e Which of course fortissimo is the name of the DC and crcomputer is the name of the domain. I can access shares on the server no problem. But when I go to share a folder on the machine and find domain users, it doesn't even recognize the domain. I'm not sure which parts not working.
