Dear Expert,

i have linux box that is running in the windows domain, BUT did not being a member of the domain. as I am not the System Administrator so I have no control on the server in the network, such as modify dns entry , add the linux box in AD and domain record and so on that relevant.

now, i have problem with the following:

1. not able to ping by hostname, only by IP.
2. not able to setup samba share or browse via http://linuxbox from windows machine.
3. not able to ftp via from windows pc to linux box. (ftp is running)

but i m able to setup the linuxbox to be ssh "server" so that i able to run x from windows and play with shell.

linuxbox is in the same network ip range.

is there any possibilities to do resolves the above issue WITHOUT joining the domain?

Thank you in advance.

Regards.
