Dear all,

I am new to Samba/Unix  and am experiencing a great amount of frustration
making my new NT Server 4.0  talk to Samba/Unix. . My background is in NT
with moderate Unix admin. I joined this company 3 weeks ago & of course,
the network was set-up by an  consultant a year ago and any docs about the
setup is nowhere to be found. Never knew Samba 'tiI I came in this company.

Our network has a SCO Unix v5.0, Linux server , Win 95 and NT Server w/c we
are trying to add.
Here are the configs:

SCO Unix  :
 	IPaddress:			192.1.1.1
	Primary WINS Server 		192.1.1.1 ( from winipcfg of win 95 )
	subnet mask:			255.255.255.0

Linux Server:
	IP address:			192.1.1.254 ( gateway)

 Win 95 W/S:
	Runs on DHCP ( Sco Unix has list of IP addresses hard coded in hosts
file.)
	Output of winipcfg is the ff:
	DNS Servers 			192.1.1.254
	subnet mask:			255.255.255.0
	Default gateway:			192.1.1.254
	DHCP server:			192.1.1.1
	Primary WINS server:		192.1.1.1

Samba is configured in the SCO server.
SMB.CONF look like this:
[global]
	domain logons = yes
	domain master = yes
	guest account = nouser
	os level = 34
	security = user
	server string = SCO Openserver 5 System
	workgroup = allied_ho	
	wins support = yes

[netlogon]
	browseable = no
	path = /u42/home/%u
	writeable = no
	guest ok = yes

[dos]
	comment = Shared dos filesystem	
	path /u41/dos
	create mode = 770
	writeable = true
.............

I skipped the rest of the config, that I think is irrelevant.

Problem:

1. All workstations cannot see the NT server from network neighbourhood. NT
server is not a domain controller, but plain server that will share its
resources. All w/s can see each other including the Samba server.
2. NT server cannot see any of the Win95 W/S and the Samba/Unix server from
its network neighbourhood. It can only see itself if I manually configure
the TCP/IP setitngs, otherwise if to be obtained from DHCP  then error
message like" Cannot find DHCP controller" comes. I edited the hosts file
in the SCO Unix box and hard coded the ipaddress for the NT server. 
I have also created the same user/password in UNIX and NTand tried to use
that user in logging from NT. Pinging the NT Server from the win 95 w/s
does not work either. I have also tried the recommendation in Easy Does it
Technologies on Networking Setup for Windows NT 4.0 PCs and still no
success.      	 

Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated.
