[Samba] REPOST: (Newbie) Trying to get name resolution functional across the WAN
Hello,
I posted this question last week, but received no feedback. Sorry for the
long post , but I'm trying to give relevant detail at once. If somebody
cares to take a look, it will be very much appreciated.
thanks again

Asunto: [Samba] (Newbie) Trying to get name resolution functional
across the WAN
Clasificaci?n:
Hello all,
Sorry if this is not new for you, certainly it is for me.
I've setup Samba 2.2.3a on Redhat 7.3, right off the distribution's
RPMs.
Somehow I managed to get it working, as seen from the local LAN where the
server sits, at building A. Problem is, all of my users are in building B,
10 miles across the city from the server room. This is a corporate
environment, mainly Windows and Netware, where building's LANs are composed
of Catalysts and routed to WAN links. I don't have control over this
environment.
Currently I'm only able to connect from my WinNT4 workstation to the shares
defined in Samba if I reference it by IP address. I was unable to get name
resolution working. Follows my findings so far (sorry for the message
wording, Windows is spanish language version).
IP trace from the NT box to the samba server:

Note that in this network, the third octet denotes the building. So,
primary WINS server (10.75.93.21) is located in building A, the same as
Samba server, while secondary WINS server (10.65.44.25) is located in
building B, the same as my NT workstation (10.64.44.238).
Now to the server. Contents of smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 10.68.44.238 (10.68.44.238)
# Date: 2002/09/06 15:18:38
# Global parameters

comment = Informacion de acceso publico EDRS

[homes]
comment = Carpeta personal del usuario
path = /mnt/u01/home/%u
read only = No

Back to the Windoze box: ASCII art recreation of the Folders panel of
Explorer (messages translated back to English, sorry if some doesn't match
the original ones):

+-All Network

So here I'm stuck. I understood from the documentation that Samba would go
and register itself with the WINS server, and then that info would be
replicated down to the clients. Apparently this is not happening here. Can
anybody give some advice in diagnosing this?
TIA,
cl.

However, you can have multiple WINS servers for Samba so one thing you might try is to add the other WINS server to your SMB.CONF. I believe that all that you do is seperate the IP's with a space i.e.: wins server = x.x.x.x x.x.x.x But don't quote me on that (I'm a newbie too!! ) Good luck Barry deFreese Newbie> > ---------------------- Remitido por Claudio Lapidus/BsAs/Telecom/AR con > fecha 10/09/2002 13.04 ---------------------------Enviado por: > samba-admin@lists.samba.org > > > Destinatarios: samba@lists.samba.org > CC: > > Asunto: [Samba] (Newbie) Trying to get name resolution functional > across the WAN > Clasificaci?n: > > > Hello all, > > Sorry if this is not new for you, certainly it is for me. > > I've setup Samba 2.2.3a on Redhat 7.3, right off the distribution's RPMs. > Somehow I managed to get it working, as seen from the local LAN where the > server sits, at building A.
