Hello all,

How can to affect DNS on SAMBA (RH6.2 Linux)?
Why when I shut down DNS server, windows client lose the access to the
shares of SMB server on different computers.

The SMB Linux server (172.16.27.102) conigured on DNS server
(172.16.27.102). I shut down DNS server and the following is occured:

When I set "IP of names server =  172.16.24.3" parameter in "linuxconf, Name
Server Specification DNS" on the SMB Linux server (172.16.27.102), any
windows (95,98,NT,2000) clients do not access to  shares of the SMB Server.
The client is (172.16.27.9, 172.16.27.15, 172.16.24.57).
When I set "IP of names server =  " parameter - all clients is OK. But
172.16.27.102 (SMB Linux serever) can not access to network by names through
DNS server.

DNS and SMB Servere are not same computers:
DNS is 172.16.24.3 netmask 255.255.0.0
SMB is 172.16.27.102 netmask 255.255.0.0
172.16.27.9     (first client) netmask 255.255.0.0  (WINS =  172.16.27.102
in network config.)
172.16.27.15   (sec. client) netmask 255.255.0.0  (WINS =  172.16.27.102 in
network config.)
parameter 'wins support = yes'.

How can to configure SAMBA (RH6.2 Linux) whith DNS on different servers?

with best regards
