PLEASE HELP: NT domain problem

[Ext-Nikos.Lakoutsis at nokia.com]

Could anyone please help with the problem below...

The funny think is that I can see one of those servers in the network
neighborhood and I am getting that the network path was not found?
Any ideas?

Thanks amigos

Nikos

Thanks for your quick reply Phillip....
I am afraid that didn't work. I even set the value to 34 which is even above
an NT4 server....but still nothing...:(

Regards

Hi Nikos!

Try using the "os level" option in the global section. Just start with a
value around 8 and go up until your clients are able to 'see' the servers:

[global]

  ...
  os level = 8
  ...

This option means how 'strong' a SMB Server should act on a network. So if
this value is set too low, other services run e.g. by clients will overlap
your samba service and you won't be able to see it from those clients.
I had the problem when stepping from Win98 to Win2k clients. Nothing was
changed on the server config but suddenly the machine was disappeared from
my network neighbourhood.
This is no guarantee that it works but it may help. Tell me of your
experiences!

Hi all,

I have the following problem and I was wondering if you could help:

The problem exists in 2 servers one running Solaris 2.6 and the other HP-UX
10.20.

When I am adding the servers to the NT4 domain NCS_CA (with PDC ntcdhcpaca)
everything seems to work fine.
I am using "smbpasswd -j NCS_CA -r ntcdhcpbca" and they are joining the
domain ok.
I can access the servers from my NT client by typing their fully qualified
name but I cannot see the servers through the network neighborhood or by
typing \\server_name from the run window....
This was working in the past....

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys

Nikos

P.S.Here is the smb.conf
[global]
        workgroup = NCS_CA
        netbios name = NFS01CA
        server string = NFS HP-UX nfs01ca Samba Server
        security = DOMAIN
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        password server = ntcdhcpbca ntcdhcpaca
        username map = /opt/samba/lib/smbusers
        debug level = 0
        log file = /opt/samba/log/log.%m
        max log size = 500
        name resolve order = lmhosts wins hosts bcast
        deadtime = 10
        max open files = 4000
        load printers = No
        local master = No
        dns proxy = No
        wins server = 172.26.33.44
        hosts allow = 131.228. 172.
