Configure client with no Win server.

[GL Fournerat]

Hello Kathy:

You might want to look closer at the last line in your global section...

 1  name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast

I believe it should read:

name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast
--------

And if you're going to use WINS, where is the WINS server identified in the
[global] section?

--------
Also, regarding ...

# encrypt passwords = yes
# smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

... here is a quote from "Using Samba", pg 42...

"If you are using Windows 98 or Windows NT Service Pack 3 or above, you must add
the following entry to the [global] section of the Samba configuration
file: encrypt passwords = yes."

---------

I hope this helps (or gives you some ideas where to look),
Gary Fournerat
