I have two Samba servers configure similarly. One shares fine across our
entire network and the other only works within its own segment. I have
poured over the smb.conf files and cannot see what it preventing the one
from crossing segments. These both are Debian 2.2 boxes and I am just
modifying the default smb.conf files. I am hoping a fresh pair of eyes will
help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks, for the fast reply. Yes, I can ping the WINS server from the bad Samba server. Actually, I have two NT WINS servers that have a PUSH / PULL relationship set up. I have checked the database on the WINS server that is on the segment that cannot see the shares from the bad server. It has an entry with the correct IP for the bad server. I can see the bad server in the browser list from the segment but when I click on it under I get a: \\Device is not accessible The network path was not found I can also see the good server but I can open it's shares.

Found the solution. I restarted the nmbd process and the share appeared
across all segments. I did reboot the server several times but this did not
work. I am not sure why the process restart worked whereas the reboot did
not but it did.
Just FYI incase anyone else comes across this problem
Thanks,
Brian

Subject: [Samba] Loosing Samba Shares Across Segments
I have two Samba servers configure similarly. One shares fine across our
entire network and the other only works within its own segment. I have
poured over the smb.conf files and cannot see what it preventing the one
from crossing segments. These both are Debian 2.2 boxes and I am just
modifying the default smb.conf files. I am hoping a fresh pair of eyes will
help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
