Samba with Win2K Server

[netwerkassist]

Currently I have Samba 2.2-1a installed on Redhat 7.2. It's configured with DHCP. I'd like to be able to browse it in network neighborhood. Do I have to have a WINS Server or are they other options. I have 3 other linux systems all on a 10.0.0./24 network hub, and be nice to see them.

I have configured smb.conf with workgroup=mydomain, host allow 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0,local master=no,domain master=no,preferred master=no.
These machine are also on dynamic dns with the W2K (dns)server and can ping each others machine names fine.

Appreciate help!

Apprediate help :(

From what I've read (and what I'm currently trying to configure), Samba should be able to emulate a WINS server. As far as how...I'll let you know once I figure it out :)

Hey,

I just set up a Linux box in my Active Directory Domain here at home. I have 1 Win2000 Server as my Domain controller, 1 Win2kPro workstation, 1 WinXPPro workstation, and my Linux box.

I can browse it with no problem through network neighborhood. I have DNS running on my Win2000 Server though. Other than that I've not done anything special to the Linux box. I installed Redhat 7.3, edited my smb.conf file, and renamed K35smb to S35smb so Samba (SMB & NMB) would always start at boot.

I can see my Redhat 7.3 Box listed by It's hostname in Network neighborhood. I can also browse the shares I created.

I do have the security = server in my smb.conf file instead of security = user.

I also have the part that says:
password server = servername

..and I've replaced 'servername'with my Win2000 Server's name.

Hope this helps some :D

I'm a n00b :cool:
