I have never used windows nt, only 2000....NT does not run on dns for name look up 
like 2000? I will have study up on NT.


Thanks

The problem here is that Samba is not an AD domain controller.  Samba
implements the NT4 protocols - the name resolution stuff for this would
(and has, we did look more like AD in the 3.0 alpha series) open the can
of worms, requiring all sorts of other changes.

Not the answer to your question, but if you had AD domain controllers,
and Samba was just a file-server, then:

disable netbios = yes

would do the trick.  Sadly, this isn't possible for the DC yet.
