Login Problems

[Ilender Linux]

Hello everybody.

I use SAMBA 2.0.7 on Red Hat Linux 7.0 (with ALL the patches already installed) and clients in Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition.

The problem I am having is that everyday, at the time the users come to work and turn on their machines, its almost impossible for them to login the domain. They receive "Bad Password" error about 14 to 20 times (I have counted them) until they can log in. After that, during the day, if someone restarts its computer, it logs at the first try. But if someone turns off his computer for a regular time or if the IP address is changed, the errors come back.

I have read and tried different configuration and options, but none has worked.

I will appreciate a lot if you help me, cause I don´t want Windows NT to work again as the PDC.

Here I include my GLOBAL PARAMETERS and my IFCONFIG status.

Thanks a lot for your help!
