Still a no-go (altho I'll be the first to admit I have a very
rudimentary understanding of Windows domains).
I cannot logon to the HOME.LAN PDC at all when my Win2k workstation is
identifying itself as a member of the BIZ domain. I cannot access any
shares from the Win2k client using NET USE nor can I access the client's
shares from the server using smbclient. There is no password challenge,
just the standard "no logon server available to process logon request"
I can however send SMB messages to both domains using smbclient ;)
What appears to be happening is that the Win2k client shows up as the
server and master browser of it's domain (BIZ) while the Linux Samba
server shows up as the server and master browser of it's domain
(HOME.LAN) - yet never shall the two talk to each other...
Here's what I've got so far...
#smbclient -L drummsw01:
Domain=[BIZ] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
