Hello, In SAMBA digest 1395 I have written about our problems with PC's from differet subnet classes. Now I will point out this problem in more detail: I have now installed Samba 1.9.17alpha5 with the global-section in smb.conf: [global] hosts allow = 193.174.234., 192.124.248., 193.174.235., 141.35.191.122 workgroup = IMBNET printing = SYSV printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/yppasswd share modes = yes browseable = yes wins support = yes The samba-Server (name: 'duerer' is in the subnet 192.124.248 and has the OS IRIX 5.3) One PC with Windows95 (name: 'nemo') was configured one times with the IP-Number 192.124.248.147 and in the other case the same 'nemo' had the number 193.174.234.52 in the other subnet. In both cases (and also in cases of further PC's with Windows95) the samba-services are correct available, as you can see from the entries in the log.smb file: ************* 08/25/97 11:01:58 nemo (192.124.248.147) connect to service gmueller as user gmuell er (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12195) 08/25/97 11:02:01 nemo (192.124.248.147) connect to service edgar as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12195) 08/25/97 11:02:04 nemo (192.124.248.147) connect to service homespc as user gmuelle r (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12195) 08/25/97 11:02:05 nemo (192.124.248.147) connect to service program as user gmuelle r (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12195) ************** 08/25/97 15:27:05 nemo (193.174.234.52) connect to service gmueller as user gmuelle r (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 13512) 08/25/97 15:27:09 nemo (193.174.234.52) connect to service edgar as user gmueller ( uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 13512) 08/25/97 15:27:14 nemo (193.174.234.52) connect to service homespc as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 13512) 08/25/97 15:27:15 nemo (193.174.234.52) connect to service program as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 13512) 08/25/97 15:27:27 nemo (193.174.234.52) connect to service jukebox as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 13512) ************* An other PC with WinNT 4.0 (Workstation) name: 'ente' was configured one times with the IP-Number 192.124.248.51 and in the other case the same 'ente' had the number 193.174.234.52. In the first case all services are available, as you can see: ************ 08/25/97 12:37:48 ente (192.124.248.51) connect to service program as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12963) 08/25/97 12:37:49 ente (192.124.248.51) connect to service homespc as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12963) 08/25/97 12:37:50 ente (192.124.248.51) connect to service jukebox as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12963) 08/25/97 12:37:51 ente (192.124.248.51) connect to service Medl_82 as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12963) 08/25/97 12:37:52 ente (192.124.248.51) connect to service gmueller as user gmuelle r (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12963) 08/25/97 12:37:53 ente (192.124.248.51) connect to service scratch as user gmueller (uid=1000,gid=20) (pid 12963) With the IP-number of the other subnet-class you can see the following registration in the log.smb-file: ************ 08/25/97 12:07:28 ente (193.174.234.52) connect to service gmueller as user gmueller (uid=1293,gid=20) (pid 12814) 08/25/97 12:15:25 ente (193.174.234.52) closed connection to service gmueller ************ On the 'ente'-site the command - net view \\duerer gives the "system error 53 - network access not allowed". All other PC with WinNT4.0 in the subnet 193.174.234. can't use the samba-services too.
