samba - Oct 2001 - Browsing accros remote subnets

Hi all,

I've recently tied 2 networks together trough a ssh / pppd tunnel, to make 
a vpn. Everything works smoothly, but for one thing:

I cannot see the remote windows users computer in the network neighbourhood 
(from a windoze machine in the ohter subnet). I can find the computers when 
I search for them. After that, i can access remote shares etc.

The setup:

network 192.168.1.0
- linux-based router, making the connection to the other router
- samba fileserver (192.168.1.3) acting as PDC & wins server.
- Other servers & windows workstations (windows workstations have correct 
wins server setup)

network 192.168.3.0
- linux-based router, making the connection.
- windows workstations (windows workstations have correct wins server setup)

As mentioned above, everything works fine, all kinds of traffic is possible 
over the link between the networks. I think I'm missing something in the 
samba setup.

If you guys need some more info, please let me know.

TIA,

Dirk

rm -rf /bin/laden

This is the relevant part of my smb.conf (I left out the shares)

[global]
         workgroup = BEAN IT
         netbios name = Spray
         server string = Bean IT Fileserver
         log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
         max log size = 0
         socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
         load printers = No
         dns proxy = No
         printing = lprng
         security = user
         smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
         encrypt passwords = yes
         wins support = yes
         domain master = yes
         local master = yes
         preferred master = yes
         os level = 65
         remote browse sync = 192.168.2.255 192.168.3.255
         remote announce = 192.168.2.255 192.168.3.255

I've also tried it without the remote browse sync and remote announce 
statments, since they are not nessecary according to the manual.

Tia,

Dirk
