Hi everyone:
I am responsible for the network where I work which is a small company of
about 12 people. We all have a computer on an Ethernet LAN. Most are
PCs running Win98, some NT4, a few Solaris SPARC and one running Linux.
I've setup the Linux machine as the gateway to the Internet using IP
Masquerading. It works like a champ where an NT4 Server didn't fair too
well. Anyway, I was wondering if there was any work done that allowed
Samba, DHCP, and DNS to communicate with each other.
I would like to setup a DHCP server so that everyone's computer gets an IP
address dynamically instead of using static IP addresses. This will also
help in cases where we have visitors with laptops that want to "plug-in"
to our network. The problem is, if we use static IP addresses - we won't
be able to FTP to each other. I was hoping that Samba could share it's
Machine Name information it learns with DNS and that DHCP could also tell
DNS about the IP addresses it assigns so that we could resolve names.
Any ideas about this?
Thanks
-Rod
