Samba joining NT domain #2

[Teeps]

---

I didn't want to hijack the other thread, so here's my problem. I'm trying to connect a linux box (Mandrake 10.1) to an NT domain, just as a client.

I can ping both ways successfully, and the windows PC's can see the linux box just fine. I can join the domain using 'net rpc join ', but I cannot do anything with smbclient, I just get 'connection refused'

Here's what the debug info from smbclient says when attempting to 'smbclient -L matthew'

Client started (version 3.0.7).
internal_resolve_name: looking up matthew#20
Opening cache file at /var/cache/samba/gencache.tdb
Returning valid cache entry: key = NBT/MATTHEW#20, value = 192.168.0.2:0, timeout = Thu Dec 16 16:10:55 2004

name matthew#20 found.
Connecting to 192.168.0.2 at port 445

Error connecting to 192.168.0.2 (Connection refused)
lang_tdb_init: /usr/lib/samba/en_GB:en.msg: No such file or directory
Connection to matthew failed

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Simply to make sure,
Did you specify the domain name in samba configuration, as well as the user/pass to use?

your domain in controled by an windows nt computer? (or W2K, W2k3)

The domain is specified in smb.conf, but not the user/password. I passed them with the net join command as in 'net rpc join NYFC -U Administrator'.

The domain is controlled by a Win NT 4 server. IP addresses are dyamically assigned using DHCP by an ADSL router, apart from the server, which is static at 192.168.0.2

Thanks,

Sorted it, and it's all my fault!

I had got confused about the IP addresses, 192.168.0.2 is actually the router, whilst the server is at 192.168.0.1

If I do smbclient -L matthew -I 192.168.0.1 it's all good, and I can use smb4k to connect to shares, so all is fine.
