Hello everyone,

Once again I'm trying to set up our Samba server to operate as a PDC, now that I've verified that I have a clean install of the Samba 3 software. However there are some difficulties with this. On my client machine when I try to set the domain name in the system control panel, I get an error message saying that the domain could not be contacted. I've set up my client with the IP address of the Samba server as a WINS server in the network control panel. I have a machine account for the client set up in the /etc/passwd & shadow and the smbpasswd. I thought I had everything set up that I need, but it must be the case that I'm still overlooking something that is needed in order for the client to recognize the domain. I'm not seeing any error messages appearing in my samba.log file. Anyody have any suggestions for further things I could check to see why my PC can't see my domain?

Thanks very much,
Eric
