I have a question.  I'm not sure if it is my samba configuration or my DNS configuration.  A friend of mine is running Windoze98 and has  samba server to provide domain logins.  People on the internet are also able to connect to his network by running them command (in Windoze) \\xatter.dhs.org.  
    I'm trying to create that same type of setup.  I'm able to do \\www.cmsnet.net and it works fine.  I'm also able to do \\ftp.cmsnet.net and that works fine also.  Yet, I'm not able to to \\manlius-1.cmsnet.net from the windoze98 client.  It gives the error "Network Could not be found".  If I log onto my Samba server and run the command smbclient \\\\manlius-1.cmsnet.net, everything works fine!  So, everything works fine using smbclient  but doesn't work right with windows.  Why would this be??  Below is my DNS Zone file:

@       IN      SOA     manlius-1.cmsnet.net. root.cmsnet.net. (
                                9910181 ; Seria
