by A newbie with common problem.....
I can ping either machine but I cannot access or see the linux(RH 5.0)
server from
Win 95 machine (I don't know how or if I can 'see' the win 95 machine from
Linux). I am new to Linux and Networking and I'm a bit stuck. I get this
message when i log onto windows: "No domain server was available to
validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network
resources".
smbstaus output reads:
samba version 1.9.17p4
service uid gid pid machine
no locked files
I have not been able to set the domain up and the machine is
/etc/hosts output reads:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.254 harry.lightfoot.com *Linux box*
192.168.1.2 mollie.lightfoot.com *win 95*
I can telnet to the IP address 192.168.1.254 but not the domain
'harry.lightfoot.com.
smbclient //harry/root -U root output reads:
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
unknown socket option tcp_nodelay
server time 'etc'
timezone 'etc'
password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[UNIX] Server=[Samba 1.9.17p4]
security=user
smb:\>
My guess, for what it's worth, is that the Domain/DNS need(s) to be set up
somewhere.
Any ideas?
