Hi (Sorry but I can't make it shorter than this) I'm trying to simulate a real network using virtualbox and in particular test the possibility of a single sign on linux/windows lan. Samba is working. I can see users linux /home folders on the windows machine by entering: \\hh1\lynn2 LDAP is working since lynn2 can login at a command line and the username/password works for seeing the share from windows as above. /var/log/messages and /var/log/samba/log.smbd confirm this. log.nmbd also confirms that the samba server is also a logon server. I have a windows 7 virtual machine setup: 192.168.1.2 opensuse 11.4 DNS server, LDAP server, samba server PDC for a domain called HH1, gateway 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.4 Windows 7 running in virtualbox, joined to the domain HH1, DNS set to 192.168.1.2, gateway 192.168.1.1 When I try to logon to the domain from windows, it gives me the error 'No logon servers available' whether I have the static setup as above or automatic IP and DNS via dhcp. I can ping linux from windows but cannot ping windows from linux. Trying to ping 192.168.1.4 from a linux terminal drops everything. Both machines can ping the gateway and both can see internet. I am trying to diagnose the problem of not being able to logon to the Samba domain and wonder whether the cause could be to something to do with the widows machine being on virtualbox and not being able to ping it as above. Virtualbox is set to emulate a real network adapter as follows: Adapter 1: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (Bridged adapter, eth1) Could anyone help me with this? Thanks.
