Dear guru's,

I trying to configure samba(v 3.0.2).
server = linux redhat 9.0
host = win xp

smb.conf
[global]
netbios name = egmond
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = user
log file = /var/log/samba.log
log level = 1
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
wins server = 192.168.10.1
wins support = yes
domain logons = yes
logon drive = p:
logon home = \\niftyserver\
os level = 99
preferred master = yes


[pub]
     path = /cifs/pub
     guest ok = yes
     writeable = yes

[netlogon]
     path = /cifs/netlogon
     read only = yes
     guest ok = yes

in /etc/hosts
192.168.0.1     niftyserver

I read like: "The IP address of the WINS server should be your Samba server (where the nmbd daemon is running)"


I could smbclient //localhost/pub...


At my xp pc if I run command
C:\>net use p:\\niftyserver\pub
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
Which mean like there is something wrong in the name. My linux machine runs NAT and I haven't a DHCP server(yet). Is that a requirement in my situation?


I have WINS on 192.168.0.1(XP PC) and
nmblookup -U 192.168.0.1 niftyserver
name_query failed to find name niftyserver

so it really comes back to a naming problem...DHCP required?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Wim
