samba

[Ben Lutgens <blutgens@usinternet.com>]

Hey gang,
I am having problems with samba. I am trying to add a samba server to an 
NT network. There is one NT server and several win98 machines. The idea 
is that once we migrate all of the stuff over to the samba server. The 
NT machine goes away. My problem is that the only machine that seems to 
be able to see the damn samba server is the NT box. I can see and log in 
with that. The win98 machines can't locate it at all. I have edited the 
lmhosts file properly (As I did on my home network) and still no avail. 
I know the server is right because the NT Server can talk to samba fine. 
Below is a dump from a testparm of my smb.conf (And yes I know it's 
insecure, I just want to get it working for now) I also added the samba 
box to my domain with the server manager on the NT Domain controller. I 
get no helpful errors in the logs. The box is a Debian Potato box with 
2.2.1 kernel. I am absolutely clueless. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.  I should also not that nbtstat \A <IP ADDRESS> froma  dos 
prompt on the mosbehaving windows machines shows the samba server but 
nbtstat \a chewbacca does not. Also, "net view" seems to accomplish 
nothing except on the NT Machine. TIA
