 Also, I remember having problems with domain subfixes named .local;
 perhaps you'd like to rename it to .localdomain (I hope this is a test
 network...)


and put

172.16.2.0hifxnx

in the hosts file of windows workstations

now every thing is fine.

but I had to manuall create the group 'machines' to successfully join the domain

Thanks for your input John,

if I use this  interfaces = interface_name then it listens on all IP
addresses on that interface and there are many. It causes confusion to
users so I wanted to restrict the IP address that samba listens to
172.16.2.0.

Actually it works as a file server well with this configuraion and
people can access all the shares.

thanks

Basically, and just from my experience, /32 doesn't do what you think it does.

If you want samba to listen on certain ip/net range, just do:

interfaces = 172.16.2.0/12

and it will do the right thing (unless your server have more than one
ip on 172.16.2.0/12)


I'm actually surprised that 172.16.2.0/32 does serve your clients. I
tried that configuration a few years back and it didn't work at all
(samba 3.0.1something on debian)

Also, I remember having problems with domain subfixes named .local;
perhaps you'd like to rename it to .localdomain (I hope this is a test
network...)

Oh. And you don't have a wins support = yes (default is no IIRC)

What's the output of:

smbclient -L 172.16.2.0 -U%
nmblookup -A 172.16.2.0

?
