I have a problem with a network of Windows 95 systems and a couple of Linux systems, one running Samba 1.9.16p11. The layout of the network is as follows: ==== CSU/DSU to internet === | frame relay interface Router w/1 port --SS--- Router with 2 ports | 10.5.x.x network | other, assigned, IP address +-+-+-+-+-+ | Some windows 95 Linux system (2 NIC cards) systems and 1 Linux | 10.4.x.x network system +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Various other Windows 95 systems The second Linux system is running NAT masquerading. The first is used only to connect a bunch of ADDS terminals into a telnet connection to the second system. The samba server running on the second system is forced to be the master browser for the network. Both IP networks are on the same domain, along with the samba server, obviously. All of the Windows 95 systems are configured to use the Wins server on the second Linux server. They are entered into the Wins configuration on the network control pannel. The first Linux system is not running Samba at all. (No sharing is needed. I tried to run a wins proxy just to attempt to honor a 'B' or 'H' node type but this did not work so I stopped the samba server on that system.) The problem is that, while each network can see the systems on that network, they can not see each other. The browse.dat file on the samba system shows both systems from 10.4 and 10.5, but each Windows 95 system can not see the systems on the other side of the router. Even though the entries for both networks are on the Linux server which has a 10.4 address, it does not give these values to other computers. I can not seem to come up with the proper configuration directives for the samba system to permit it to be the domain master. I have tried running samba on the 10.5.x.x network's linux server and making it a proxy server to register on the 10.4.x.x network's value. I have tried to play with the os levels, wins support, and other directives. Nothing seems to work for wins. Each network can only see the systems directly attached to it. What am I missing? How can I make this work? All of the networks are addressable and reachable from any system. I guess that I can start to go through the code, but since I don't have the tech references on WINS, it is difficult to understand what I must diagnose. Many thanks. p.s.: The network topology may seem strange. However, it wasn't until receiently that the Cyclades multi-port routers supported NAT functions and we wanted to have a two port router for the dedicated high speed link to the remote site. p.p.s.: I hate wins!! (Netbeui networks are much easier for small systems.) -- Al Longyear longyear@netcom.com Finger for PGP key Design is about changing your mind until you get it correct.
