[Samba] Vijay - samba box not seen in browse list.

[Vijay Kumar]

Hi,

a) My first Domain Controller was DomainA - Win2K server.
    No wins on that server or anywhere on the network.
   All the Windows clients were able to access it and also see it in the
browse list ( network neigh ) under DomainA.
   The Domian Controller here is not able to see or access the Linux Box.

b) I changed the Workgroup to Domain B - Win2K Server
     No wins on that server or anywhere on the network.
    Now other windows machine are able to access the Linux box using
\\cvsbkup
   They are not able to see the machine in the browse list ( network neigh )
   The domain Controller B - Win2K Server  ( No Wins ) is not able to access
the Linux box not able to see it.

   My main aim is to see that the win2k server should be able to access it.
This is should be perfect and consistent.
   Since the backup from Windows box will be stored on the shared folder on
the Linux box.

c) There is a two way trust relationship between the two domains ( A and B )
     Yes all the other clients are Windows Box. They can ping to the linux
box.
     All the machines are on the same network.

I just discovered that even in DoaminA the domain controller i not able to
acces it.

Basically, the question would be -  how can we make the domin controller
access/see the linux box ?

Thnx for all your help.

Regards,
Vijay.
