Hey guys, I think I found my problem. Now I just need to figure out how to
fix it.
I checked the NT 4.0 box, and for network identification, it has the DOMAIN
set to COURTESY.
In smb.conf, the workgroup = COURTESY.
Went through the book, and it stated that if it is set like that, you will
experience problems. :-/
Ok...now I need to figure out how to fix this.
The tricky part is, all our users have a mapped drive to the NT 4.0 server.
I have to take that into consideration before I make some changes.
Anyone have some suggestions on what I can do to fix this?
I appreciate it.
Jas
