Domain logon from behind proxy...

[Bill Eldridge]

I think this has been addressed a few times,
but without quite satisfactory results.

I have a private subnet behind an NAT
proxy server (IPMASQ), and a public subnet
on the other side with the NT PDC on the public.
(Using both NetBEUI & TCP/IP).  The PDC
will change later, but currently I'm trying to
find out how this all works before I do that.

I'm trying to make a client machine on the
private side use only TCP/IP, no NetBEUI,
and logon to the domain.  I've tried various
assortments of WINS on the proxy machine,
on a single-card private Samba machine,
various LMHOST configurations (one line
that always seems to give a "too many columns"
is the:

192.68.1.3    mypdc    #PRE    #DOM:mydomain

line out of the examples - the error says "obsolete
syntax".

Anyway, I'm up to about 120 different ways to do
this (except for building a hole into the proxy, and
making WINS run on the NT PDC itself) that don't
work - I get a "can't log into domain, cached info
used", though I can browse the net & do my shares
as normal, I can't log in as an uncached user.

If anyone has a simple step-by-step guide for
setting up domain logons from behind a proxy,
I for one would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Bill
