I've looked all over the archives, and I can't find the answer tot his. I have a machine called pendor, that's running my DNS, DHCPD, WINS, and is my router between my ethernet and token-ring networks, as well as my masquerading firewall/router to the dialup line. Yep, this machine does it all. I have this line in /etc/smb.conf: interfaces = 192.168.1.2/24 192.168.2.2/24 Where 192.168.1.0 is the ethernet, and 192.168.2.0 is the token-ring. In the machine, eth0 is ethernet, and eth1 is token-ring (ignore the silly device name on the second one, blame Olicom) The problem is that browsing works only on the ethernet side of things. All machines point to pendor for their WINS server, but pendor only acts as the WINS server for the FIRST interface listed in the config file. I did switch them, so I know it's not one of the subnets being bad or anything. Is there a way to make Samba serve WINS on both subnets at the same time? I'd really like browsing to work right for the whole network... Or is there another way around it, even if it's by using another machine on one side to act as the master browser of that subnet? Please reply to me directly as well as the list, I'm not on the mailing list, I just check the archives. I get too much mail as it is.

I do know though, that I had a WINS server on three subnets, one being a subnet with a real IP, one being a 'fake' subnet for a real IP (a kind of arp-proxying but with a 255.255.255.252 subnet) and the third being a subnet for 192.168.112.0. Now browsing seemed to be working very badly, I do not know why, but I suspect the WINS/browselist on a router. Last week I changed the arp-proxything into real arp-proxying, and it seems that browsing works better now. So maybe the WINS and/or browselist on a machines with more IP's is a problem? (Now I have only 2 IP numbers in the WINS, I used to have 4) Valentijn Valentijn Sessink - valentyn@dds.nl - Email (o.; g.mv.) glasachtige, ondoorzichtige of transparante massa, in een dunne laag aangebracht ter bedekking of versiering (brandverf) van metalen, glazen en stenen voorwerpen en keramiek.
