Mount samba share - but cannot use DNS
Hi,
we have some windows xp clients. We mount some samba shares (from linux server) on them. The problem is that we cannot mount the share using the linux server DNS name but have to use its IP address. It doesn't work if we use DNS name. Does anybody know why ?

Go with a windows server
Your clients will love you more Just do not Cry when they came knotting at my Door! But if you have to have a linux server go with http://www.xandros.com/ it work good with Windows! Now DNS name for Windows is give by your clients Internet Provider Like my Computer Name is giving by Windows \\MyNew for my network, my DNS name giving by Internet Provider is http://c-98-198-178-144.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/ You see the IP in the DNS name Not all Internet Provider do the same in DNS name!

What does the ipconfig /all command report? Is it showing the correct DNS server information? John
