Ok. Got it. Do i turn on wins server = Yes in smb.conf and set DHCP to
configure "netbios name server" to the ip address of the smb server? I
keep trying this is and for some reason it doesn't seem to work. BTW i've
got dhcpd updating an internal Dyn-DNS enabled bind, so windows machine
names actually find their way into the DNS. With this should i enable
dns_proxy in smb.conf?
The OS level = 65 was initially in my smb.conf. As i said, in
myfristration i added 100 to it! It seems i should have maxed it out na
lang..
Again, i've tried, and it sort of works, until some time when it doesn't.
Isolating the problem is a pain because there are so many options.

There's so much gibberish in very high debug settings \8( I'd be content
with the fatal errors sana... sana...man lang...

In a nutshell, the logs were totally unhelpful in this case. No nothing.
I'd expect log.smbd to say something like 'denying logon to the machine
because.. blah blah' But it just sit there, idle \8(
Thanks for the input Jijo. I'll give a report later when i've tried it
out. Thanks also to the others who responded! \8)
