[Samba] Samba-Win2k

[Eric Anderson]

My first thought is that wins server and allow hosts are looking for ip 
addresses. Even if samba is able to look up an ip address from the name, 
you would have to make sure they are either resolvable via dns, or in 
/etc/hosts.

for example:

wins server = 192.168.1.2
allow hosts = =  192.168.1.

OR (for example)

allows hosts = LIN

where

192.168.1.2    LIN

is in /etc/hosts.
