Very Computer

I am trying out VMWare, using it to run NT on a Linux box.  I would like
to be able to access our corporate network - servers, printers, etc.
The corporate network uses NT domain authentication.  The problem is,
the company uses token ring instead of Ethernet, so I can't do the
Ethernet bridging solution.  :(

I have set up IP masq on Linux so the VMWare NT machine can ping other
machines, get name resolution via DNS, etc.  However, when I try to set
the NT Domain, NT complains that it can't see the PDC.  This is hogwash,
since I know the name of the PDC and can ping it by name!

Is there a fundamental limitation to IP masq which keeps it from doing
NT domain authentication?  Am I just setting it up incorrectly?  Anyone
have a workaround module like for FTP?

Thanks for the assist,

Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Even if you can ping pdc by name, it does not mean you can login on to
domain. WINS or lmhosts will help.

Good luck!
