Let me give you my scenario. I have been given a small computer lab to oversee. This is a subnet off the main college campus network. www.pembrokeshire.ac.uk We have to link through the college gateway to the outside world and are allowed no inward access. Our details. network domain name computerlab.pembrokeshire.ac.uk IP 212.219.110.x NETMASK 255.255.255.192 1 Compaq Proliant 350 file server IP 212.219.110.1 1 P2 333Mhz web server IP 212.219.110.2 1 HP4050 laser printer with IP 212.219.110.9 24 workstations IP via DHCP 212.219.110 10 up to 212.219.110.61, names Alpha to Zulu gateway 212.219.110.62 DNS 212.219.112.3 We run dual boot workstations with Windows 98 and Suse Linux (Ready to upgrade to 7.2 this summer). The Server currently runs Windows 2000 but I do not understand W2k and do not have time to learn (also the only technician who knew W2k has left). The MIS manager wants to Install Windows NT4 (Technicians can support this (probably)). I want to install Suse 7.2 and Samba as my file server. I have bought a book and am gradually working through it :( Can anyone offer advice on how to configure the smb.conf file for this network. Also how to get the login screens /passwords set up bearing in mind my dual boot.
