hi there
I have installed redhat linux 9, with samba configured as PDC (192.0.0.1) . The problem is that i am trying to get my win2k machine (192.0.0.2) to logon to the samba domain. I am able to browse the linux box thru network neighbourhood, and see the linux share, and to connect to this win2k computer to join the samba server (domain logon) , i am logging as administrator (win2k) and gave the domain and then i get prompted for the user name and password (samba root), and once i enter these, it throws up and error :

"The following error occured validating the name "YAHOO"
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"

My smb.conf file is pasted for your reference. I have a firewall running, but it has been configured to allow traffic from my win2k client. As mentioned earlier, i can see the linux box thru network neighbourhood.
PLS HELP..anyone
regards
Sunil

Welcome to LQ.

Have you added the machine accounts to the linux box?
