Hi Pat, We have internal DNS servers which are delivered to clients via the DHCP server. Any client looking for an IP via DHCP will recieve these DNS server server IPs. I simply added an entry in our zone files for the LAN and refreshed the DNS tables. From there I could type: \\dvrinst\install and gain access to the share. I tried both with a username and password set, and without.
I tried to add an entry into the /etc/hosts file as the RH9 distribution I had on the machine hosting the Win2k install and unattended files did not have an lmhost/s file. I did try to restart the network services on the machine prior to testing in Windows, but either wayit didn't work. I assumed this had something to do with the machine advertising itself to the WINS server which I didn't really have the time to wait aroudn for, hence the reason I went with the entry in the DNS server. THe only thing I can think of to try now would be to forcably create and lmhost/s file and restart the network services on the machine, or to try with a Windows machine. Any assistance would be great. Cheers, Gareth PS. I am really happy with the level of support from this community. I did fear it would be another linux "RTFM" list, but to my joy it was the exact opposite. Congrats!! :-) On 12 Dec 2003, Patrick J.
