Logging into a remote domain??? (follow up)

Fri May 15 00:19:35 GMT 1998

All -
	I got several responses regarding the situation in my previous
email (included below).  I now have the following setup and still get
nothing.  I am able to see other entries in the Network Neighborhood, I am
just unable to logon to my samba server, or see it in the Network
Neighborhood.

W95 client on subnet 172.20.151.0/255.255.0.0.
 - NetBEUI: "Client for MS Networks" is unchecked under Bindings tab.
 - IPX/SPX: "I want to enable NetBIOS over IPX/SPX" is unchecked under
	NetBIOS tab. "Client for MS Networks" is unchecked, but "Client
	for Netware Networks" is checked under Bindings tab.
 - TCP/IP is setup to use a WINS server (same as samba), but after it the
	client reboots, WINS is disabled.  Any ideas why?
 - windows\lmhosts contains: "209.67.71.165 sos #PRE".  I've tried adding
"#DOM:sos" as well and get nothing different.

samba server is Solaris 2.6, samba version 1.9.18p4.  My smb.conf looks
like:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[global]
workgroup = SOS
security = user
interfaces = 209.67.71.165/255.255.255.240
bind interfaces only = yes
allow hosts = 172.20.151. , 207.82.195., 209.67.71.160/255.255.255.240
domain logons = yes
logon script = logon_script.bat
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
netbios name = SOS
wins support = yes
client code page = 437
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
#create mask = 0000
#force create mode = 0644
invalid users = root
locking = yes
strict locking = no
name resolve order = hosts lmhosts wins bcast
veto files  =  /.AppleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/

[homes]
available = yes
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = yes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon startup log.nmb reports:

I suspect that fail_register line has something to do with it, but
couldn't find that error code in the docs/man pages or usenet.

Any ideas what to do next?

(looks like I'm going to owe several people games :)

Thanks!
