DNS is not necessary. Use your Samba server's WINS functionality for name resolution is necessary. The Samba server will need to have a static IP.


This was implicit in my fear that DNS would interfere with my ISP's IP-on-the-fly IP assignment scheme. I have a static private IP set for each 'host' on the lan, but my understanding is that the ISP assigns a different IP as soon as PPP is activated. I have no idea whether these IPs interfere with each other.
