how about setting the MS DNS server as the resolver for Unix, and
using Dns Proxy = Yes in samba?
or did I miss something here?

| Your statement is correct about the MS DNS server can
| be configured, but that really isn't my issue. I'm
| dealing with trying to get the Redhat Linux 7.3 system
| to be able to ping/resolve hostnames.
|
| It has to do with Samba for the fact that Samba can
| handle the job if set up correctly, which I'm
| attempting to do.
