Help with samba

[easg]

I have configured samba to share a folder and a printer with the windows machines in a network with a Windows NT 4 domain controler a Windows 98 Pcs, I have access to the linux shares from the windows pc with no problem, but I can´t have access to the windows pcs from the linux side, I have tried with xsmbrowser, With Konqueror (smb, and nautilus and nothing, this is the only linux pc in the network, is there any option in the smb.conf file to enable?

Red hat 9
Windows NT 4 domain controller
Windows 95/98 workstations

Have you setup a user on the NT for the Linux box. You can try connecting via smbclient smblient //PDC_NETBIOS_NAME/sharename -U administrator. This should ask for a password.

The red hat linux user account name I´m using to configure the samba clients already exist in the NT user manager for domain list, I don´t know if this is the right way to do this.

How is your smb.conf file setup, ie:
security = ? (user, domain, etc.)
and encrypt passwords = Y

[easg]

encrypt passwords = Yes
in the gaphical tool Authentication mode is set up to User

I used the configuration tool in Red hat 9

Try the following changes:

• Make sure workgroup equals domain name
• security = domain
• password server = *
• join the domain smbpasswd -j domain_name -U administrator
• Restart samba smbd SIGHUP
• Try connecting via smbclient as mentioned before.

But the if I use security level to domain the windows username will not work, so how will I share the files?

[mairving]

If you set security to domain, the windows username will work. Just have to make sure the users are added to both the Linux box and the PDC.

It didn t work but I was checking the network configuration and there are two ip adresses 216.230.128.34 and 216.230.128.32 for primary and secondary dns

[easg]

may be this is because I have two nics in this pc one for an ADSL internet connection and the other for the LAN connection
