Hi, this seems very simple but I can not get my Samba server to broadcast through its PPP interface. My Samba server has two interfaces: eth0 (130.151.17.154) and ppp0 (130.151.17.211). On the other side of the PPP link I have another Samba server with two network interfaces as well: eth0 (172.17.0.10) and ppp0 (130.151.17.193). I want Samba to broadcast through both interfaces but so far everything I've tried has failed misserably. In the Samba server with interfaces in different sub-networks (172.17.x.x and 130.151.x.x) I have: interfaces = 172.16.0.10/255.255.0.0 130.151.17.193/255.255.255.128 and it works _fine_ (broadcasts are sent through the PPP link). However, on the server with both interfaces in the same sub-network I have tried several combinations for "interfaces = " like: interfaces = 130.151.17.154/255.255.255.128 130.151.17.211/255.255.255.128 interfaces = 130.151.17.154/255.255.255.128 130.151.17.193/255.255.255.128 interfaces = 130.151.17.154/255.255.255.128 130.151.17.211/255.255.255.255 with no luck at all (no broadcasts sent through the PPP link as seen by tcpdump-smb). I think the problem comes from the fact that _both_ interfaces _are_ on the same sub-network (130.151.17.0, netmask 255.255.255.128). However, Samba doesn't allow to specify interfaces by name so how the heck I can tell Samba to broadcast through my specific PPP interface, or putting it in different words: through different interfaces in the same network??? Thanks in advance for any help. E.- -- Eloy A. Paris Information Technology Department Rockwell Automation de Venezuela Telephone: +58-2-9432311 Fax: +58-2-9431645
