--=-Opg+B39ieCCMMyrRQh46 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Andrew, Sorry about not getting back to you earlier on this. I've already got the machine accounts set in in etc/passwd & smbpasswd files. I've been working my way through the smaba recommended "DIAGNOSTICS.TXT" procedures, and find that I am able to successfully complete all except:- Test 8 - On the PC type the command "net view \\BIGSERVER".=20 Here the only way this works is if I use the IP Addr of the samba server instead of its name (FQDN or not). Test 9 - Run the command "net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP" Same as above for this test too. I am only able to run this using the IP Addr from the Win2K box. From test 8 onwards, I am able to see the shared dirs from the Win2K box in Windows Explorer under their respective desginated drives letters. Like I said even with this (limited success) in place, I am still unable to get past selecting "Domain" in the "Identification Changes" tab in "Network Identification". When I enter the domain name configured in smb.conf and hit "OK", I get the Microsoft error detailed in my earlier post. I'd really like to get sorted out, so if you'd require my sending (off-list) you my smb.conf file, or anything else that might prove useful in diagnosing this problem, please let me know. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
