The problem I described in my post yesterday turns out to have a simple to implement, but difficult to explain, solution. Changing the network mask on the OS X server running Samba, from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.254.0 seems to have solved the problems. What is hard to understand, though, is that both the server and client had IP addresses that should have been reached using the original mask.
Anyway, I'm sorry if anyone has wasted time on the original question.
Thanks, David Goldenberg

Hi,
I would be very grateful if anyone could give me a bit of help with this. I am trying to run Samba 3.0.5, as distributed with Mac OS X server 10.3.8, on an Apple Xserve. Things were working beautifully until I had problems with an IP address change and had to reinstall everything.
At present, the situation seems to be that the smb protocol is operating, since I can make an smb connection from either a Windows client or a Mac client, provided I specify the IP address of the server. But, the server does not show up for browsing on either the Windows or Mac clients. This I could live with, but the real problem is that I want to use the server as a PDC, and it is not recognized by the clients.
