I am grasping at straws too - all machines have Internet access, and Gateway / Mask / DNS / WINS IPs are configured correctly (see the numbers 1-4 mentioned in post #15).

Hi Chris,

Thanks so much for your responses and your time - I'm going to whip this or die trying.
Please see my answers below (I think the numbered list 1 thru 4 is the most telling):

Good point - I forgot about the hosts file on each machine - duh.
That should take care of any IP name resolution issues.

From a networking standpoint, I have Samba configured to be domain...

Update:

I just went back after lunch, and cannot get to the server via the Network Browser, nor can I get mywebsite again (just from the PCs).

During that time, there have been no interactions...

Thanks for the tips Chris - I assumed there was connectivity since mounted network drives worked.

That was definitely VMware's IP, and the link really helps clear up some other network issues.

Thanks again!

Our single LAN network is 192.168.8/24, but after firing up our standalone Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Server and Samba, we have the following data using Netstat on a Mac:

Thanks Keith.

I'm hoping someone can post info or a link that illustrates how best to use RAID & LVM in creating a fileserver and internal webserver.

Thanks!

I went ahead and added individual Ubuntu users, but first used Webmin to automatically add new Unix users as Samba users.
Worked beautifully.
