Hi,
I've checked the archives, and didn't see anything relating to this:
I have a RH 6.1 fileserver running Samba (latest update from RH). I
have 3 computer plus a laptop on this network, all properly accessing
the Samba shares. The IP address for all of these systems are
statically assigned. Also, all of these systems automatically restore
a file share when logging on. The systems are running Win-95, Win-98,
Win-98SE (with all updates) and NT 4.0 SP5.
The Laptop is running Win98SE with all updates from MS. The network
card on the laptop is a LinkSys PCMCIA card.
Now, I'm trying to get DHCP running on my network, so I installed the
DHCPD daemon, configured it (see config file below) and started it.
Then I reconfigured the laptop to automatically get it's address,
rebooted it, logged on, and then inserted the network card. I was very
happy when the laptop was able to get it's IP address properly (I
checked with ipconfig.exe, and winipcfg.exe). However, I then got a
message on the laptop which said that the file server was unable to see
the laptop???? I checked the Samba logs, and there was NO indication
of any activity.
So, I restored the laptop back to a static IP, and rebooted, and it
worked properly.
Samba is configured to allow access to the entire local subnet
(192.168.1./24)
First question: Is it possible that Samba is remembering that a
particular machine name is associated with a specific IP?
Second question: If not, what else should I be looking for/at?
Thanks in advance.
