Our network is setup as follows :
|-----------Subnet A
| Workgroup : LAB
| All WIN95 machines (clients)
|
-
router
-
|
|
|
|-----------Subnet B
Workgroup : ADMIN
WINS SERVER / Samba Server
WIN95 machines (clients)
All of our win95 machines point to the Samba server as the WINS server and
fileserver. Machines in Subnet B can see the LAB workgroup icon in the
network neighborhood, but access it (error : LAB is not accessible. The
computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly,
and try again) ...... If I change the network property of a computer in
Subnet A to be in workgroup ADMIN (i don't physically remove the machine
from Subnet A, but only change the workgroup setting in network properties),
then computers in Subnet B can access the computer in Subnet A with no
problem.
The problem, therefore, seems to be having a different workgroup in a
separate subnet? Does anyone have advice concerning this problem. The
relevant portions of my smb.conf follows :
[global]
workgroup = ADMIN
debug level =3
log level = 3
comment = Samba Server
guest account = guest
null passwords = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
load printers = yes
printcap name = lpstat
printing = sysv
log file = /usr/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
short preserve case = no
preserve case = yes
lock directory = /usr/samba/var/lock/
locking = yes
share modes = yes
security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
logon script = %U.bat
local master = yes
os level = 65
remote announce = 132.239.121.255/LAB
remote sync = 132.239.151.255
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
wins support = yes
wins proxy = yes
Thanks for any information,
Brian

Luke and I went over this a few months ago, so I will try to explain (what I remember) here. (Luke, I hope I get all the specifics correct!) In order for multiple network (subnet) browse lists to propogate you need to have a DOMAIN MASTER BROWSER for EACH WORKGROUP that you have. A DMB can only be a WinNT Server or Samba Server set as a DMB. It cannot be a WinNT WKS or Win95 machine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tim Winders, CNE | Email: twinders@SPC.cc.tx.us | | Network Administrator | Phone: 806-894-9611 x 2369 | | South Plains College | Fax: 806-897-4711 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
