You can hack around it, but you are not part of that domain. NT does not treat Linux systems the same as it treats other NT systems. You will never have the seamless integration into the domain that other NT/2000 systems enjoy. Not anything wrong with Linux, just a fact of the domain implementation that MS engineered. > >> You also should not have had to set up a static IP for your Linux box. > >False, again. There is no reason not to use a static IP address. What? That's preposterous. Of course you want to use dynamic IP's on workstations. And besides, no one said he couldn't use static IP's. I said there's no reason why he couldn't use dynamic IP's. Think about it... he's gettign all his references (gateway, etc..) from DHCP.... > >> It'll pick up all the references and an IP from your DHCP without >having to do that. > >Quite the contrary, a machine without an IP address will behave as you >said. Huh?? Not sure what you mean at all. You set up your linux machine to grab an IP through DHCP and it does. Cut and dry. I've done it for 4 years now. No problem what so ever in running Linux systems off NT based DHCPs.
