Yes, if netbios name is not set it does pick up the host name. I would still recommend removing "Bliss" from netbios aliases. >> nmblookup "BLISS#1C" >> should list the IP address of the Domain Controllers of Bliss. >--- > And it's loopback address. Those are the two I get. Hmm... running out of ideas here. I only have Samba listening on the main interface, not loopback, and the default is "all active interfaces that are broadcast capable except the loopback adaptor". Someone who actually knows what server signing is should probably comment on that option. If fiddling with aliases or interfaces doesn’t work, I would... double-check the HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters DWORD DomainCompatibilityMode = 1 DWORD DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0 and HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Netlogon\Parameters DWORD RequireSignOrSeal = 1 DWORD RequireStrongKey = 1 registry keys in Win7 Then configure Samba with an absolute bare-minimum smb.conf file: workgroup name, security, domain master, add machine script, and as little else as you can get away with. Maybe even move the .tdb files* (including the private ones) somewhere safe, and let Samba rebuild clean copies. Since you are working with such a small network, you can probably get away with that.
