Re: [PLUG] DNS, DHCP, SAMBA & Windows

[epike@isinet.com]

The simplest to do in samba would be to create a minimal
smb.conf config (like in the samba manual), put them all
together on the same physical subnet and put them 
all together in the same workgroup -- windows netbios names 
will appear as whichever "computer name" you set them to, 
the linux netbios name will default to its dns name ("machine" 
withouth the mydomain.com).
