Problems browsing from W98 on campus network with samba domain master
On my campus network, there's one wins server that can see every machine on every subnet. I want to provide access to all these computers to the W98 boxes in my workgroup. So here's what I did: I created my own workgroup, set myself to be the local browse master and domain master. So now everything works properly on my linux box (rh 6.0, samba 2.0.5a) and the W98 boxes in my workgroup can see all the workgroups on campus. But the strange thing is when they click on the workgroup, they're always unable to browse the computers in them. The Win98 boxes are properly configured to use netbios over tcp and they can use shares from within the subnet, but not outside. Anyone have any ideas? TIA here's a dump of my config files and a ngrep of one win98 box trying to access a workgroup: -----------------------smb.conf -------------------------- [global] workgroup = BOWLES-TEST netbios name = LL400 server string = LL's Samba Server bind interfaces only = Yes security = SHARE encrypt passwords = Yes smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast time server = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 load printers = No os level = 90 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins proxy = Yes wins server = 169.229.70.155 remote announce = 169.229.70.255 169.229.74.255 remote browse sync = 169.229.70.155 169.229.107.255 169.229.74.255 --------------------------------------------------------- and here is the ngrep of a w98 box trying to access the workgroup WILLIAMS. I've replaced my ip with <samba> and the Win98 box with <Win> and the subnet broadcast address with <bcast> for easier reading. -------------------------------------------------------- interface: eth0 (169.229.107.0/255.255.255.0) filter: ip and ( host <Win> ) match: * # U <win>:138 -> <bcast>:138 ...<..kF......
