samba NetBIOS names problem

I have setup a samba server on the IP 192.168.1.101

When I go to \\192.168.1.101 on my win2k machine it pulls up the shares, when i go to \\FILESERVER it says network path not found...in my smb.conf FILESERVER is the netbios name of the samba server. How do i get the netbios names to work.

Another problem I am having is i did a fresh install of rh 7.2, this came with samba 2.2.1. After rh was setup i downloaded and compiled samba 2.2.7, now when i do smbclient -L 192.168.1.101 it says the samba server version is 2.2.1. What must I do to get the machine to use the NEW installation of samba instead of the old one.

thank you.

you should do rpm -e samba to remove samba befor updating it

i fixed the netbios problem by setting up static ips on my network and then putting the machine names and IP's in /etc/hosts

the problem I am having now is I am attempting to setup samba as the PDC for my network....i setup everything in the smb.conf file and attempt to put darcstar for the domain to connect to in win2k. when i do this it tells me it cannot find the domain. why is this?

my linux box hostname is : crackmonkey.darcstar

where else on the linux box do i setup the domain?

it would be in smb.conf

workgroup = DARCSTAR
netbios name = CRACKMONKEY

Do this command


smbclient -L CRACKMONKEY

and see who the master is

ok,

i got all this stuff working now....in order for win2k to find the domain I had to put in:
workgroup = darcstar

in smb.conf
I was able to join the domain and I supplied to username root and the root password.

But now when i rebooted windows, i selected darcstar as the domian, put in my username and password, but it says domain ... is not available.

it says this when i try the user i added or when i try to use root as the username..

any ideas?

I feel like I might be setting up the user accounts wrong maybe?
I added user sean like so:

useradd -g webusers sean$
smbpasswd -m -a sean$
smbpasswd -e sean$

and it said ok to all, now when i attempt to go to \\192.168.1.101 via command line, it asks me for username and password, user sean does not work but username root does and shows me the shares...

maybe I have more than one problem? i'm not sure...below is my smb.conf file:

[global]
admin users = root
encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons = yes
domain master = yes
logon drive = U:
logon home = \\FILESERVER\%u
os level = 99
preferred master = yes
security = user
netbios name = FILESERVER
workgroup = darcstar
log level = 2
log file = /var/log/samba.log
wins support = yes
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine Account' -s /bin/false -M %u

[homes]
create mode = 0600
directory mode = 0700
path = %H
read only = no
valid users = %S

[sites]
create mode = 0600
directory mode = 0700
path = /home/sites
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = no

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
read only = yes
browseable = no
write list = @admins
path = /home/netlogon

you need to do

smbadduser user:user


when a user logs in on mine it put the users script in the netlogon folder, and puts the users files in the profiles folder. they need to have permission to write to the profiles folders
