Hi
Thanks, but I've already done that.
Now I'm getting
active directory domain controller could not be contacted.
I have renamed my win7 PC as pjl-win7 and restarted PC, server and router
to ensure all match
I also changed the workgroup in Samba from Glendiscovery to glendisc, my PC
is still on the windows workgroup and can access the shares.
There is also an XP machine, computer1 on 'workgroup', once I've fixed the
win7 problem, I'll be checking it can also join the domain.
browse.dat has:
"GLENDISC" c0001000 "CENTOS55" "GLENDISC"
"CENTOS55" 408c9a23 "Samba Server Version 3.6.6-0.129.el5"
"GLENDISC"
"WORKGROUP" c0001000 "COMPUTER1" "WORKGROUP"
"GLENDISCOVERY" c0001000 "PJL-WIN7"
"GLENDISCOVERY"
I was recommended to add some lines to smb.conf, so it now has
[root at centos55 samba]# cat smb.conf

# from UNKNOWN (0.0.0.0)
