Hello folks I'm trying to setup samba so that it acts as a PDC. However I can't seem to browse to its shares or to join the domain I created for it. I know it's accessible on the internal network as the Apache server I have running on it is easily accessible by typing in it's IP address but that's all. Here's the basic network struction:

Clients: 3 Windows XP Pro machines
Server: Mandrake Linux 9 machine
Router: Linksys BEFSR41 router hooked up to a Dell 24 port switch (going to be adding more clients)

Here's the relevant section of my smb.conf file:

[global]

workgroup = SUPER
domain logons = yes
security = user
os level = 34
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
security = user
encrypted passwords = yes

[netlogon]

comment = Domain logon service
path = /export/samba/login
public = no
writeable = no
browseable = no

I have added one of the machine names to the smbpasswd file via smbpasswd -a -m chris and it entered it into the file. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can get this working properly?
