Windows client can't see NT domain when passing through a Linux PPP server

Windows client can't see NT domain when passing through a Linux PPP server

Post by Michael Pemric » Wed, 06 Jan 1999 04:00:00



Hi ...

I'm using a RedHat 5.1 machine running pppd as a dial up server for remote
Windows clients at my company.  The clients connect with no problem and can
do all TCP/IP networking applications including telnet,ftp and web browsing.
The Linux ppp server machine sits on the same network with the NT Primary
Domain Controller.  The problem I'm having is that the client cannot see the
"network neighborhood".  I configured the client to log on to network and I
set the domain correctly.  Is there some other protocol that I need to run
on the linux ppp server?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

... Mike

Do you have a WINS running anywhere?  If yes, the quick fix is point
your WINS setting in Dial-Up Networking to it.  Otherwise, you will
need to add PDC Windows Name to IP mappings in "LMHOSTS.SAM"
file (Found in \Windows directory).  You should set up WINS if you
run TCP/IP as your LAN protocol, it really avoids a lot of weird

The same thing happens with an NT RAS server and it is caused by MS's
Netbios implentation (which is used even when IP is the only network
protocol - Netbios over TCP/IP).

Try looking at the notes on www.winfiles.com which has some how to
articles. e.g.

http://www.winfiles.com/howto/peercon.html

Need more information.  Are you saying that you have 1 network
which has
a linux box running ppp and the rest of the computers are MS and
that
these "clients" cannot map the other MS computers in your
network?

1. Windows NT 3.51 as PPP server and Linux PPP client

Hi there

I would like to know if anybody out there has already succeeded
in getting Linux to go with PPP to a Windows NT Workstation 3.51 machine
acting as a dialup server.

At the moment I works between 2 NT machines - I sit at home and and get my
client machine to dial the machine at work. After I am connected the
server is set up to use call-back and calls my machine at home.

Is it possible to get call-back to go on my Linux box - in other words
I must first dial the NT machine and then wait for a ring? I can use
static or dynamic IP addressing...

I did not see any mention of this in the newsgroups?

Any help will be appreciated.
