I'm running Samba 2.2 under Debain unstable as a PDC. I have a Win98 machine logging into the PDC just fine. I can also see the Linux box in Network Neighborhood and access the shares. I have a second machine on the same network running Win2k. The Win2k machine does not see the Linux box in Network Neighborhood. Attempts to map a network drive by specifying a full path fail. So does trying to access //Name or //a.b.c.d in My Computer. Attempts to have 2k log into a domain fail with the error that the controller can not be found.
I can, however, ping the Linux box from 2k, using either IP address or computer name. I can access it via ftp, ssh and VNC. I have the Linux IP entered as a WINS and DNS server on the 2k machine. Looking in log.nmbd, I see lots of messages with the 98 machine IP. The 2k machine IP does not appear at all. I'm running out of things to fiddle with and having no luck what so ever. 98 and Samba are cozy as can be. 2k and 98 talk just fine over NetBIOS. 2k and Linux talk fine over non-NetBIOS channels but 2k and Samba refuse to even look at each other. From my smb.conf file: [global] security = user status = yes encrypt passwords = yes guest account = nobody share modes = no os level = 65 keep alive = 30 kernel oplocks = false socket options = TCP_NODELAY map to guest = Bad User logon script = %U.bat logon path = \\%N\%U\profile ; workgroup = amber domain logons = yes domain admin group = admin domain master = yes preferred master = yes ; admin users = root map hidden = yes map archive = yes map system = yes ; browseable = yes write raw = yes read raw = yes oplocks = yes Ideas or suggestions, no matter how wild, gladly accepted.
