Hello All: I have a situation where I have a Samba box (RH 7.3 w/samba 2.2.4) that I set up for a client. Another consultant came along and installed a VPN using SonicWalls between the main site and a remote site. So now they want the remote users to save files on my Samba box. No problem except that the remote users can't see my local workgroup or any of the local machines. Here's what's wierd (or where my knowledge breaks down :) )Their machine names and workgroup name is registered in samba's wins database. I am the only wins server on both subnets (10.0.1.x local and 10.0.2.x remote). The remote lan group is peer-to-peer setup with each client pointing at my Samba box (who is at 10.0.1.128). So my question is as follows - how did their machine names get registered if netbios traffic is not passing the Sonicwall vpn? or does that use TCP/IP instead? I'm in need of a little netbios education here I think in order to tell the other consultant what to open up on the VPN boxes. Are they blocking ports 137 and 139 or is it something else.

Sonicwall's will not pass win's traffic you may have to get him to poke holes in the firewall product. If this consultant has worked with Cisco equipment before, on the Cisco's it would be the equivalent to the command Ip helper (address) This tells the router to pass 8 different types of protocols which include NetBIOS traffic, but from my little work of installing sonicwalls they do not support this feature. -----Original Message----- From: James W.

Will SonicWalls forward port 22? If so, you can use ssh to forward ports 137,138, and 139 between the 2 machines. Conversely, with that few machines, you might just enter them all into the hosts and lmhosts files on each machine-then they'll have the IP's already. Jim> -----Original Message----- > From: James W.

For quickness and simplicity's sake, I'd try the hosts/lmhosts route first. If it works, you won't need the ssh connection set up. If it doesn't work; you'll need a persistent ssh connection between the two samba servers, with ports 137-139 forwarded. I'm not sure how to set up multiple forwards; I use putty on my win2k box, and it handles it for me. Try the hosts/lmhosts first; if it doesn't work, let us know, and we'll help you work out the ssh or other connection. Jim> -----Original Message----- > From: James W.
