Hi, Iam trying to configure samba
I have a linux server which should act as a domain controler.
The problem is that i failed to make my pc client(xp) aware of my samba pdc.
Here is what iam supposed to do
1. Press the Windows and Break keys simultaneously to access the System Properties dialogue box.
2. Click on the 'Network Identification' or 'Computer Name' tab on the top.
3. Click the "Properties" button.
4. Click on the "Member of Domain" button.
5. Also enter your domain name and computer name and then click "OK"
6. You will be prompted for a user account and password with rights to join a machine to the domain. Enter the information for your Samba administrator. In this home environment scenario, the user would be root with the corresponding smbpasswd password. Now, you should get a "Welcome to <DOMAIN>" message confirming that you've been added.
7. Reboot.
However i get the following error message:
"The following error occurred attempting to to join the
domain HOMENET.
Logon failure. unknown user name or bad password"
My actions
----------
I checked the login name and password of root exists in both passwd and smbpasswd.
At first i had samba 2.7, then i downloaded 3.0.21a.
I edited the smb.conf file using swat
When i ping from client(xp) to the server it is successfull
when i ping from server to client it is unsuccessfull. Out of 800 packages only 60 arrived.
Then i disabled all the firewalls and tried again
Still a i get the same error message.
Can anybody help please
Thank you.
