Ok, so any ideas on why my private IP samba server, which is also the lan WINS server dies (quit's talking to the Windows clients) when the DNS server is shutdown? I have put the ALL:10.10. in the /etc/hosts.allow file and also in the smb.conf file. Perhaps samba is needing something else other than the DNS, if I set the Host resolution to not use DNS what else will this effect. This machine is a samba server only, does nothing else. Both samba and the DNS machine are running Redhat 6.1 Thanks for anything..
