[Samba] Strange problem with samba

[hongwei at morpheus.wustl.edu]

Hi,

I set EnablePlainTextPassword to 1 on all windows systems, also I use
security=user, not server.

Today, I found some more information.  I found that all windows 95/98/nt
that use DHCP cannot connect to one samba server (2.2.4, Redhat Linux
6.2), but those windows using static IP do not have problem.  At the same 
time, all windows can connect to other two Unix systems (AIX, samba
2.0.2, 1.9.16p9).  Also, all WindosXP (using DHCP) can connect to all
three samba servers.

Again, before yesterday, there was no any problem at all for more than a year. 

Please help me!  I appreciate your help!

Hongwei

Jumping through hoops to get E-mail on the road? 
You've got two choices: Join the circus, or use MollyMail.
