samba 1.9.18p1 and multiple subnets/ network neighborhood browsing
I have read the entire BROWSING.TXT file and still am unsure of the browsing
capabilities of Samba.
We have the following Network
|-----------Router------------
| |
| |
| |
| |
Network (A) Network (B)
133.134.183.xxx 142.42.134.xxx
Workgroup = LAB1 Workgroup = LAB2
Samba Server Win95 PC (B)
Win95 PC (A)
PC (A) can browse all machines on Network A in LAB1 and can see the LAB2
workgroup. However it can't access the LAB2 workgroup (it says the sharename
can't be found). PC (B) can view all machines in the LAB2 workgroup, can
see LAB1 workgroup, but also cannot view LAB1. Both networks use the Samba
Server in Network (A) as the WINS Server which works fine. Also, I can use
WIN95 find-computer feature to find computers in the other subnet. I just
can't browse via the network neighborhood into the other subnet. Any ideas?
Our smb.conf file follows :
[global]
workgroup = LAB1
guest account = guest
null passwords = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
log file = /usr/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
short preserve case = no
preserve case = yes
lock directory = /usr/samba/var/lock/
locking = yes
share modes = yes
security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
logon script = %U.bat
local master = yes
os level = 65
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
wins support = yes
wins proxy = yes
[homes]
path = /home/%S
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
create mode = 0750
[netlogon]
comment = Samba Network Logon Service
path = /usr/samba/netlogon
case sensitive = no
guest ok = yes
locking = no
writable = no
browseable = no
Thanks for any advice,
