You can allow a Windows NT machine to authenticate to another machine that is not on the same subnet by specifying the computer name in the c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts file. the entry would look something like
10.x.x.x nt_pdc_name #PRE #DOM:your_nt_domain_name Then you would have to allow LMHOSTS lookups in your TCP/IP config in NT. Wes ____________________________________ Wesley A.

This is not really debian related, (could even be not Linux related), but there's a lot of good knowledge here... I have a internal (10.x.y.z) windows NT network, it's conncted to the outside world through a linux proxy/fw/gateway (potato). The linux box also connects a DMZ area for the webservers etc. Now the problem is that we want to connect one of the NT servers from the private lan, and move it to the DMZ area. When we do so, it can no longer find the NT Domain controller (discovery by broadcasts) that is in the private lan, it needs this PDC/BDC for user authentication. How do I get this NT server in the DMZ area to be able to find and contact the PDC or BDC in the private lan. Please include a cc: to me... i'm on the digest list only...
