I have a samba share and this should only be accessible by some machines. So, I tried to set the "hosts allow"-parameter in my share. This is working fine for IP addresses, but we have dynamic addresses, so I want to use the Win7 machine names. But as soon as I switch the current IPs to the hostnames, the users get a password prompt in Windows. There is no hosts allow specified in [global] section. I set the var hostname lookups = yes, too. You can ping the hostname from the samba server. I have no idea why it isn't working with the SuSe machine.

What kind of parameter is missing? Has somebody other the same problem?

Logs just telling: [2017/03/14 23:54:37.573960, 0] lib/access.c:338(allow\_access) Denied connection from (my.local.ip)

I tried a lot of things, but now I am really frustrated.
