[Samba] Win98 troubles

[Bob Crandell]

Hi,

I have a client with 2 Win98 out of 15 computers that refuse to see the server when
they first turn them on in the morning.  When they logon as a new user, not a
reboot, it connects and they work fine for the rest of the day.  They can even
reboot whenever they want throughout the day and it works, but when they turn it off
over night, the computers refuse to see the domain the next morning.  Help.

One computer's IP is DHCP the other is static.  The server OS is Slackware 9.0,
Samba 2.2.8a.  I added the server netbios name and the domain name IP address to the
workstations' local hosts file and I added those workstations' IP addresses to the
server hosts file.  I hard coded the network speed to 100/half duplex.
