[Samba] RE: Domain logins across subnets

[John Paul]

Thanks for the reply.

The DC is acting as a WINS server and all clients are assigned the WINS server 
via DHCP. I've even statically assigned the WINS server and it does not work. 
Name resolution works properly, so I don't think this could be the problem.

Again, thanks.
