Hello,=20
I've got 2 WIN2K Pro workstations on my home lan that I'd like to
enable network logon for. I've been banging my head against a wall for
the last four hours trying to get this sorted, but to no avail.=20
I keep getting the same error when trying to enter the Domain name into
the "WORKGROUP" field in Win2K network properties:=20
"The following error occured validating the name "my_domainname", This
condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For more information
about troubleshooting common DNS lookup problems see the following
Microsoft blah., blah.., blah..,=20
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted".=20
Here's what I've got in smb.conf:=20
Global Settings:=20

To begin with I added a user in /etc/passwd for one of the machines:=20

Here's what smbstatus gives:=20

I've not got printing set up on the FBSD box as yet, so I'm thinking
that the above errors for CUPS aren't a problem, but I could be wrong..,
I've tried googling, and checking samba's docs (mostly for =A3inux), and
Microsoft help, but I'm not any clearer on how to proceed. I'd
appreciate any assistance, pointers to a "the secret FBSD" doc somewhere
that gives at least a minimal setup from which to start..,=20
