This particular workstation is my work laptop (DRUMMSW01) which normally operates as a member of a standard Win2k domain called BIZ. At windows startup/logon, BIZ is specified as the domain.
At home, my Samba PDC's workgroup/domain is HOME.LAN
When I try to browse shares on HOME.LAN with the Win2k laptop, I get the following error message: "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request." However, if I logon to the laptop locally as opposed to w/ BIZ specified (i.e. I have a local machine account) I can use all of HOME.LAN's resources w/o a problem.
I've traced the problem in the /var/log/samba/nmbd.log file as shown below - it would appear that the client is still trying to authenticate against the BIZ domain (in particular, notice the WINS registration requests for BIZ, which the Samba server choses to ignore).
I've followed the standard procedures per http://www.sugoi.org/bits/index.php?bit_id=33 - i.e. a machine group exists, a user account for the machine exists, and the machine has been added to the smbpasswd file, but to no avail.
Any help on solving this puzzle would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. I've also included a dump from testparm following the log file.
