Things to check:
* Install at least 2.0.34 and enable RST-provoking (see
/usr/src/linux/documentation/networking/ip_dynaddr.txt in 2.0.34 or later).
* Put all LAN IP-numbers in /etc/hosts:
192.168.0.0 client0
192.168.0.1 client1
192.168.0.2 client2
192.168.0.3 client3
192.168.0.4 client4
etc.
* Put your SMB workgroup name(s) in /etc/hosts
192.168.0.0 workgroup
192.168.0.0 accounts
* Tell Samba to ignore the diald interface (man smb.conf)
* Install a cacheing name server (works well for some people)
* Look at some sendmail-with-dial-on-demand FAQs or use smail
* Use 'killall -USR2 diald', tcpdump and other tools to see
what is going on.
