Hi, see this great docs: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/unixclients.html But, for just the client to be able to 'see' the WindowsXP using Netbios, we can do this: 1. Activate the DC as WINS server too in smb.conf 2. Add the needed info for each clients in /var/cache/samba/wins.dat with this entry (example): "JOHN.SMITH#03" 0 195.168.0.110 64R #03 = Netbios Type Reference http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/d9752e34-fefc-4709-84b3-9127c68bd3841033.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows2000/en/advanced/help/sag_WINS_und_LocatingDcsUsingNetbt.htm http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300986 http://www.chicagotech.net/netbios&wins.htm HTH, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 13:39:30 up 6:11, 2.6.22-14-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.
