Thanks I will look up the info on samba. I had it running on static ip's
and the machine was identified on my lan. Then I set up DHCP and the lan
can't see it anymore. I have a couple ideas, I was just curious if I could
set it up to grab it's own IP address from itself.

The server is easy to set up. And, even tho I know static is better for
servers, DHCP does seem to make things easier. If I can get the Linux box
to keep itself on the LAN (visible from win98se machines) then I will be
making that change here at work.
This is RedHat 7.1 btw in case that info is pertinent.

setting up a DHCP server is pretty simple actually.
But the question he's asking, I don't quite get. You want the DHCP server
on your linux box to act as a client? You can't do that.

Oh well. How do I get the server back on the lan then? Once DHCP was
activated, the server disappeared. Any resolution or suggestions?

It has one. It's static IP has never changed. It just disappeared.
Under the dhcpd.conf file if you specify a domain, does the workgroup in
samba have to have that same name?

yup. have a win32 program that expired in september. Still need it to

If you set your machine to aquire an IP via dhcp (using pump or dhcpcd
as dhcp client) then your static IP will be wiped out by that
process. Since your machine also is set as the dhcp server, the

your machine from acting as a dhcp client. kill the dhcp client
process and use ifconfig and route commands to put your IP address

What does "ifconfig -a" say?

I haven't even touched the client aspect of dhcp except for my windows

I was curious about the process for making it get one, but didn't make an

ifconfig -a currently gives the right information on dev eth0.
I know it works, because I can ping both other machines. The problem is
that it appears as if Samba is not functioning.
since this box with be my lan's dhcp server and the pdc, will that fix
things?

Oh. I was under the impression from the statement "it just disappeared"
that the box was unpingable. I take it now that you meant it
"disappeared" from network neighborhood.
this is a samba configuration issue. You might want to dig through
the samba docs provided by others earlier. Or send your smb.conf here
(with sensitive data edited out!) for us to review.

Probably. I think you just need to get a better handle on the SMB
protocols and learning how to setup samba as a PDC should accomplish
that task :)
You can probably still browse shares (if you have any configured
available) on your machine by going to "entire network" in network
neighborhood. If any of your Linux box's shares are browseable (in
smb.conf) then they might appear under the workgroup set in smb.conf
for you linux box. you can also get to unbrowseable shares directly
by mounting drives using the ip address and share
name. ie. \\IP.add.re.ss\sharename

ok. I will take a look at it at home and if I am still stumped I will post

hmm... under entire network, only my lan shows up. I think I may have
screwed something up by putting a domain option under the dhcpd.conf file.
I will comment it out and see if the box pops back onto the lan. If not,
deeper into smb.conf I go.
