I was using a Samba server under a SUNOS 5.5.1 operative system. This SUN machine was the server of a number of Lynux (Mandrake) and Windows (95,98, XP) computers in a TCP/IP network with fixed IP numbers. We were oblied to change to DHCP recently. As our network has a huge number of computers I am running the smbd and nmbd daemos of the Samba with an identification in such a way that only those windows computers having the WINS protocolo with the same identification were able 'to see' this machine. Under DHCP, at least for Windows 98, there is no any configuration for this protocol in such a way that now although my subnetwork is transparent for all SUN and Lynux systems, those Windows 98 working under DHCP are not able to recognize the Samba server. Obviously there is a trivial solution, I could eliminate the identification in the daemon of the Samba server but the price to pay is being transaparent for all the computers on my network (more than four thousand), I assume there should be some way in the configuration of Samba to allow a particular internet address to access the Samba server although it is not able to see it, due to the identification. Does anybody know how to do it? Thanks in Advance. Alfredo
