+>By setting the "veto files" parameter, matched files on the Samba

+>Now write your first fax. Use your favourite wordprocessor,

+>Usually each fax has a header page. It carries your name,
+your address, your phone/fax-number.</P

+>It carries also the recipient, his address and his *** fax
+number ***. Now here is the trick:</P

+as the recipients fax-number. Make sure this text does not

+by formatting information, e.g. format it as a single entity.
+(Windows Write and Win95 Wordpad are functional, maybe newer
+ versions of Winword are breaking formatting information).</P

+>6.3. Samba doesn't work well together with DHCP!</A
+></H1
+><P
+>We wish to help those folks who wish to use the ISC DHCP Server and provide
+sample configuration settings. Most operating systems today come ship with
+the ISC DHCP Server. ISC DHCP is available from:
+<A
+HREF="ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp"
+TARGET="_top"
+>ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp</A
+></P
+><P
+>Incorrect configuration of MS Windows clients (Windows9X, Windows ME, Windows
+NT/2000) will lead to problems with browsing and with general network
+operation. Windows 9X/ME users often report problems where the TCP/IP and related
+network settings will inadvertantly become reset at machine start-up resulting
+in loss of configuration settings. This results in increased maintenance
+overheads as well as serious user frustration.</P
+><P
+>In recent times users on one mailing list incorrectly attributed the cause of
+network operating problems to incorrect configuration of Samba.</P
+><P
+>One user insisted that the only way to provent Windows95 from periodically
+performing a full system reset and hardware detection process on start-up was
+to install the NetBEUI protocol in addition to TCP/IP. This assertion is not
+correct.</P
+><P
+>In the first place, there is NO need for NetBEUI. All Microsoft Windows clients
+natively run NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and that is the only protocol that is
+recognised by Samba. Installation of NetBEUI and/or NetBIOS over IPX will
+cause problems with browse list operation on most networks. Even Windows NT
+networks experience these problems when incorrectly configured Windows95
+systems share the same name space. It is important that only those protocols
+that are strictly needed for site specific reasons should EVER be installed.</P
+><P
+>Secondly, and totally against common opinion, DHCP is NOT an evil design but is
+an extension of the BOOTP protocol that has been in use in Unix environments
+for many years without any of the melt-down problems that some sensationalists
+would have us believe can be experienced with DHCP. In fact, DHCP in covered by
+rfc1541 and is a very safe method of keeping an MS Windows desktop environment
+under control and for ensuring stable network operation.</P
+><P
+>Please note that MS Windows systems as of MS Windows NT 3.1 and MS Windows 95
+store all network configuration settings a registry. There are a few reports
+from MS Windows network administrators that warrant mention here. It would appear
+that when one sets certain MS TCP/IP protocol settings (either directly or via
+DHCP) that these do get written to the registry. Even though a subsequent
+change of setting may occur the old value may persist in the registry. This
+has been known to create serious networking problems.</P
+><P
+>An example of this occurs when a manual TCP/IP environment is configured to
+include a NetBIOS Scope. In this event, when the administrator then changes the
+configuration of the MS TCP/IP protocol stack, without first deleting the
+current settings, by simply checking the box to configure the MS TCP/IP stack
+via DHCP then the NetBIOS Scope that is still persistent in the registry WILL be
+applied to the resulting DHCP offered settings UNLESS the DHCP server also sets
+a NetBIOS Scope. It may therefore be prudent to forcibly apply a NULL NetBIOS
+Scope from your DHCP server. The can be done in the dhcpd.conf file with the
+parameter:
+<B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>option netbios-scope "";</B
+></P
+><P
+>While it is true that the Microsoft DHCP server that comes with Windows NT
+Server provides only a sub-set of rfc1533 functionality this is hardly an issue
+in those sites that already have a large investment and commitment to Unix
+systems and technologies. The current state of the art of the DHCP Server
+specification in covered in rfc2132.</P

+NAME="AEN338"
+>6.4. How can I assign NetBIOS names to clients with DHCP?</A
+></H1
+><P
+>SMB network clients need to be configured so that all standard TCP/IP name to
+address resolution works correctly. Once this has been achieved the SMB
+environment provides additional tools and services that act as helper agents in
+the translation of SMB (NetBIOS) names to their appropriate IP Addresses. One
+such helper agent is the NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS) or as Microsoft called it
+in their Windows NT Server implementation WINS (Windows Internet Name Server).</P
+><P
+>A client needs to be configured so that it has a unique Machine (Computer)
+Name.</P
+><P
+>This can be done, but needs a few NT registry hacks and you need to be able to
+speak UNICODE, which is of course no problem for a True Wizzard(tm) :)
+Instructions on how to do this (including a small util for less capable
+Wizzards) can be found at</P
