Should I make Samba listen on all available IP address for the Domain Controller to function? It already functions as a File Server very well with this interface configuration. users in 172.16.0.0/12 can access all the shares.

It causes confusion to users so I wanted to restrict the IP address that samba listens to 172.16.2.0. Actually it works as a file server well with this configuraion and people can access all the shares. thanks --Siju -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

I'm sorry I didn't before. I was traveling and my phone is not the best device to write an email (touch screens REAAAAALLLY s*cks) Basically, and just from my experience, /32 doesn't do what you think it does. If you want samba to listen on certain ip/net range, just do: interfaces = 172.16.2.0/12 and it will do the right thing (unless your server have more than one ip on 172.16.2.0/12) I'm actually surprised that 172.16.2.0/32 does serve your clients. I tried that configuration a few years back and it didn't work at all (samba 3.0.1something on debian) Also, I remember having problems with domain subfixes named .local; perhaps you'd like to rename it to .localdomain (I hope this is a test network...) Oh. And you don't have a "wins support = yes" (default is no IIRC) What's the output of: smbclient -L 172.16.2.0 -U% nmblookup -A 172.16.2.0 ?
