Hello, I am a RH7 linux box into an WnNT WAN. My IP address is released by the Winnt dhcp server 172.20.64.73. DNS server: 172.30.1.3 WINS server:172.30.1.100 172.30.1.101 My gateway: 172.20.64.71 Network: 172.20.64.0 Proxy: 172.30.1.41 I want to setup samba to view Winnt computer and the Winnt be clients to my samba server. The big problem is that I don't know how to make that the Winnt computers see me by name. My linux box has just localhost name. I tried to compile samba 2.0.7 with nss_wins (u1.samba,org/samba/ftp/contributed/~M=A or www.padz.net/~djpadz/nss_wins/ or locate nss_wins with www.google.org) but doesn't work (error at compilation). I've read the unmaintained mini howto Dynamic-IP-Hacks, but this is for PPP. Rh7 uses pump. My Net. admin says that cannot give me a static IP and put me in DNS (DNS contain just names for mail, ftp,www servers) for security reasons. All traffic to the Internet goes through a proxy server. Any ideas how to resolve this problem? TIA ===== Eng. Bubulac Angela Tatiana IT Department, Romtelecom Phone: 4002804 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
