Hi, I am new at this list. This is also my first contact with Samba. I need it to set up a WINS-Server. I have the following situation: 4 local networks and a masqueraded backbone net connected with a linux box as router. The WINS-Server should work for the 4 local networks. This is my current configuration in smb.conf: [global] allow hosts = 192.168.*.* bind interfaces only = True dns proxy = no interfaces = 192.168.2.250/24 192.168.3.250/24 192.168.4.250/24 ; netbios name = MCN-R1 wins support = yes wins proxy = yes workgroup = MCN Is this correct? What do I have to do, to see all the available hosts from the other networks on Windows NT in then Network Neighborhood as like they where in the network of the NT-Host? My intentional is that the users on the 4 networks can simply see all of their collegs on the hole local net.
