Hi, I am running Debian (Sid) and Samba 3. My computer which intends to be only a SMB client is on a LAN (192.168.2.0/24) We have a gateway to internet and it's public IP address is 81.56.120.7. When I launch smbtree in order to "scan" existing SMB shares over the _LAN_ : ?mihamina@mihadev:~$ smbtree ?Password: ?MAINET ? ? ? ? \\SOPHIE ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?SOPHIE ?timeout connecting to 81.56.120.7:445 ?timeout connecting to 81.56.120.7:139 ?Error connecting to 81.56.120.7 (Operation already in progress) ?cli_start_connection: failed to connect to SOPHIE<20> (81.56.120.7) ? ? ? ? \\PROPRI-EF83076E ?timeout connecting to 81.56.120.7:445 ?timeout connecting to 81.56.120.7:139 ?Error connecting to 81.56.120.7 (Operation already in progress) ?cli_start_connection: failed to connect to PROPRI-EF83076E<20> ? ?(81.56.120.7) ? ? ? ? \\PROMETHEE ?timeout connecting to 81.56.120.7:445 ?timeout connecting to 81.56.120.7:139 ?Error connecting to 81.56.120.7 (Operation already in progress) ?cli_start_connection: failed to connect to PROMETHEE<20> (81.56.120.7) Yep, my computer, on the LAN goes out and then tries to connect to the piblic IP of our gateway! When I FTP or SSH any LAN computer, there's no outgoing route. A traceroute to a LAN IP address directly brings to the target computer. my routing tables "route" shows 192.168.2.x are not routed to the gateway. What couls be the problem?
