    Hi Shelagh,

    since your original posts were a while ago, and because you have
    reinstalled, can you also state what isn't working that you want to
    work, or what you want to make happen that isn't. Probably best to take
    this a step at a time, start with one thing and then go on to the next
    when that is sorted.

    Also give a brief statement of your setup, how many machines are on your
    network, and what OS do they each run.

    I'm' not a network expert, and others will probably correct me if I am
    wrong, but I think it is unusual or even plain wrong to have an IP
    address (inet addr) ending in .0. The last number should be between 1
    and 254. Did you set this yourself, or was it allocated by DHCP?

    Not sure what winbind is, I use samba without it. Can you see any
    messages relating to why it fails. Try:
            grep -i winbind /var/log/messages

    I am sure that as America awakes, and also after the weekend more people
    will add to and improve on what I have been able to say. Don't worry,
    it may take some time but we will probably get you sorted. People here
    are happy to help, and won't get fed up if it takes a while - so have
    patience.

    Good luck

    Steve
