Subnet Broswing working one direction

Hey guys,


I have two subnets, 192.168.5.0/24 and 192.168.0.0/24. Each subnet has one
Samba server and few Windows 9x clients.

The first subnet has its samba server acting as the Master Domain
Browser(192.168.5.100/24). This subnet's samaba box also has wins support
set to yes, and of course all machines on both networks is using the wins
server.

The samaba server on the other subnet(192.168.0.2/24) is configured to
be the Local Master Broswer for its network.(192.168.0.0/24). This box is
has wins server=192.168.5.100.


My problem is broswe list syncing is only working in one direction.
The 192.168.0.0/24 LMB includes all local machines as well as the other
subnet, 192.168.5.0/24 which contains the DOmain master browser.

_BUT_, the 192.168.5.0/24 network doesn't have have broswe list for the
192.168.0.0/24 network.

I read BROWSING.txt and Browsing-config.txt several times.

I have my debug level set to 7 on both samba boxes. Couldn't find a clue
there.

Here is the smb.conf from both machines.
Note: I left out the shares info.

Note:
These networks are routed using VPN gateways. All protocols above IP seem to
work. VPN shouldn't be my problem.




Thanks for any help guys.
