Hello,

And thank you in advance! I'm trying to find out if I can replace the WINS/PROXY server (Windows NT4 with WINS and Windows proxy server installed) in our company to a linux computer with Squid and Samba.

At the moment we have a routed network with multiple subnets and multiple domains. Lets say for example that we have the networks 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.4.0/24 and 70.120.1.0/24 in use. And in all of these networks we have their own NT4 server acting as PDC and the networks are in their own domain 192.168.1.0/24 (DOMAIN1), 192.168.4.0/24 (DOMAIN2) and 70.120.1.0/24 (DOMAIN3). All the machines in the whole network use the same WINS/PROXY server for example 192.168.1.200 (PROXY). Network browsing etc, everything is working perfectly with the NT4 WINS/PROXY server and I can use NetBIOS names to ping computers and so on.

My question is: Can I do the same with a Linux server with for example Squid and Samba?

Best regards,

Tomi
