I suspect that your Windows server is running Active Directory. I think that is why you don't have a workgroup. If you want to use Active Directory with Samba you need version 3.x. Versions before 3.x don't support AD, so they need a workgroup.
I may be completely wrong, since Microsoft changes the terminology every once in a while. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Levy, Alan Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 7:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: configuring samba server >From what I've read in multiple samba documentation, it tells me that I must have a windows workgroup defined on my pc in order to connect to a samba linux server from my windows XP pc. We do not use workgroups, only domains (workgroup is blank on my pc). If this is true, is there a way around this ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
