[Samba] Access shares from DNS alias

[Chan Min Wai]

Hi Valentin,

I believe it should be a DHCP Server
there is should be a dns default domain/search domain.

That should be Your domain "timco.int"

so when you type file -- it will goto file.timco.int

of course you can also use the netbios alias like below.
