Problems setting up Samba (nmbd) as multi-subnet router
Hi, i have a network with one machine acting as master router with 2x4-Port-Ethernet-Cards in it - running nmbd! There are two Windows-Workgroups, WRK1 and WRK2 in each there are Windows-Exchange-Servers EX1, EX2. In WRK2 the PDC is on EX2, in WRK1 there is a standalone PDC, PDC1. Every network is a full 255 IP-Network. 192.168.40.1 WRK1 EX1 (192.168.40.40) PDC1 (192.168.40.42) 192.168.41.1 WRK1 Other Servers 192.168.42.1 WRK2 EX2/PDC2 (192.168.42.40) Clients 192.168.43.1 WRK1 Other Servers 192.168.44.1 WRK1 Clients 192.168.45.1 WRK1 Other Servers 192.168.46.1 WRK1 Other Servers 192.168.47.1 WRK1 Other Servers On the Router, i have assigned IP 192.168.x.1 to the ethernet cards. Now, how can i setup browsing correctly thru all this machines? Is a PDC a WINS? - Which Address should i register in the Servers for WRK1 as WINS - PDC1 or EX1 ?? I have only one password server - entry in smb.conf, must i use PDC1 PDC2 for that - and which Workgroup?? - Is it possible to give out different Workgroups for different interfaces?? One server must run with NetBEUI - is this bad? Can i get info from the Window-machines, why they don't want to do things? (Like finding PDC's??) I already made a configuration, where i can access all machines, but i cannot browse thru the "network neighboorhood" - path not found is the message i always get... - and if i change things, than i can browse thru the "network neighboorhood" but then it says "cannot find PDC" ... ;( Thanx for any help Ciao Joe_D --- EPCNet GmbH ISP & Web Design Bleichstrasse 24 89077 Ulm Tel. 0731-1416 0 Fax 0731-1416-120
