I posted a question earlier about browsing between 2 subnets and didn't get
any responses so I try again with a little more info.
The 2 subnets are connected using 2 linux boxes and PPP over an ISDN phone
line. The first subnet, 192.168.1, has a WinNT WINS server. The browse
list from the NT server is showing all computers from 192.168.1, and only the
Samba server from the other subnet.
The other subnet, 192.168.2, has a Samba server acting as a local master
browser. Computers on both subnets are showing up in the Samba server's
browse list, but the Samba server's browse list doesn't get updated
with
respect to the 192.168.1 subnet as computers come and go.
Setting the debug level to 4 for nmbd and looking at the log shows
dump_workgroups: dump workgroup on subnet 192.168.2.1: netmask=
255.255.255.0:
COMPANY(1) current master browser = SAMBA
SAMBA 40049a03 (Samba Server)
BOB 40412003 (Bob )
MIKE O 40412003 (MIKE )
dump_workgroups: dump workgroup on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET: netmask=
192.168.1.55:
COMPANY(1) current master browser = UNKNOWN
SAMBA 40019a03 (Samba Server)
BETH 412003 (Beth )
BILL 412003 (Bill )
NT1 6100b ()
NT1 is the wins server. SAMBA is the samba server.
Why might samba think the current master browser is unknown in the NT1
subnet? Using
smbclient -L NT1 -U '' -N -B 192.168.1.255
shows the Master as NT1.
I have set
remote announce = 192.168.1.55 # address of the wins server.
in smb.conf.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
