[svlug] Samba error

[Tony Hartzell]

I saw similar behavior with machines on networks connected via a bridge.
It's been about 5 years since I had the problem, but I think I had to
explicitly set the "interfaces", "password server" & "wins server" in
the global section of smb.conf...there's something else rattling around
in my head that I can't think of right now, but it seems that something
I saw in the log.[sn]mbd files pointed me to its solution.

P.S. I seem to recall that even after it started working, connections
were very slow, but xfers were fast.

Here's one which is vexing me mightily.  I have a Samba server
(3.0.14a-Debian) that works perfectly in my Active Directory network.  I
have another (essentially a duplicate, different hostname of course)
that does not.

Windows PC to a share):

The share doesn't appear while browsing, and directly trying to mount 
\\server\share brings up a login prompt which always fails, producing
this extra bit in syslog:

Interesting that the PC name is used here (?)

I've tried Googling to no avail; just other people asking the same
question without any answers being posted.

Any ideas?
