I think the samba does name lookup and connects for this purpose to your ISP nameserver as indicated in your /etc/resolv.conf file. Check if you have such setup. You have two choices, set up internal nameserver or put the internal hosts into /etc/hosts file. Beware, I haven't tried myself so YMMV. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
