Still trying to get my samba network of 3-4 computers set up. 
Everything seems to be working fine on the Linux client side (one small 
problem to be addressed in another email), but the Windows clients can't 
seem to browse or access the Linux shares.
I'm trying to troubleshoot using the O'Reilly Samba book, and have 
reached a point where it appears that I have to set up the Linux machine 
as a DNS server and point the Windows machines at it. My fear is, the 
Windows machine is also a dial-up client, with the ISP using DHCP, so I 
have DNS disabled. I am concerned that enabling DNS might interfere 
with dial-up access because the machine may look to the local DNS to 
provide Internet look-ups.
Do I have a real concern, or just a major misunderstanding of how DNS 
and DHCP work?
If my concern is founded, can someone please suggest a solution?
Thanks to all for continuing patience and help.
