I have a set of RFC1918 networks -- a subdivided class C network where my local network is 192.168.0.0/25 and the remote is 192.168.0.128/25. I am using CIPE over an aDSL connection to make my local and remote nets talk to each other. My Samba server is located behind my firewall, i.e., NOT on the machine with the cipe interface. I cannot get name resolution for the remote Samba server even though the name is both in DNS and LMHOSTS. I CAN with SMBCLIENT view the remote server, and I can connect to a share on the remote Samba server using \\192.168.0.130\steve as the share name on my windoze machine. What I can't do is get name resolution or get the remote net to show up in the network neighborhood ... Below is my global section from smb.conf on the local machine: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [global] workgroup = DFIPCORP netbios name = SRV server string = San Dimas Server interfaces = 192.168.0.10/25 bind interfaces only = Yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes remote announce = 192.168.0.128/25 remote browse sync = 192.168.0.130 socket address = 192.168.0.10 comment = San Dimas Server OS Level = 65 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And here is the remote global section: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [global] workgroup = DFIPCORP netbios name = ds9x server string = San Jose Development Server interfaces = 192.168.0.130/25 bind interfaces only = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast preferred master = yes wins support = yes domain master = yes remote announce = 192.168.0.0/25 socket address = 192.168.0.130 remote browse sync = 192.168.0.10 comment = San Jose Development Server -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ideas, comments, etc???? TIA, Steve
