[Samba] Sending "fake" ip address to WINS server when advertising?
Hi all: I've got a Linux box behind a linksys stand-alone NAT. Currently I have port-forwarding turned on so it is actually possible to connect to my samba shares using my IP address. We use a WINS server, but of course if I tell samba about the WINS server it advertises itself as 192.168.1.3 (the behind-the-NAT address). This won't allow others to connect from outside the NAT though. Is there any way to make samba send my NAT's external IP to the WINS server instead of the private IP used by the actual machine? I've looked through the docs and searched via google, but so far have not been able to figure it out. :( Thanks! (If you wouldn't mind, please CC me on replies as I don't subscribe. But I also will check the list archive, so no biggie.) -- William "Bo" Brinkman brinkman@cs.princeton.edu Princeton Computer Science http://www.derandomized.org/ -- The American officials have demanded that both governments were hoping to Mars launching also went well, and that China return the planet. -- Output from a probabilistic language modeller made by an introductory CS student.
