[Samba] Unable to contact LMB of a workgroup on another subnet
Hi all!
I have NT BOGUS based on Samba 2.2.8a, named BOGUS. Samba acts as
PDC(BOGUS),LMB,DMB,WINS. In BOGUS I have machines from both 192.168.1.0
and 192.168.2.0 subnets. For the BOGUS browsing works just fine.
workgroup1 workgroup2 workgroup2
------|------------|-------------|--------
192.168.1.0 only |
---------------
router PDC,DMB(BOGUS)
---------------
BOGUS |
-------------------|------------------------
------------------------
| |
192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1
I can access any machine in BOGUS from workgroup1 or workgroup2 etc.
However, if BOGUS's machine is on 192.168.2.0 subnet I can not contact
any of workgroup* (unable to contact LMB). WINS is up and working so I
still can find any machine if I query WINS.
As I know WINS doesn't store names "workgroup*#1d" in the
database. So I
can find LMB only by broadcast.
Is there any solutions or workarounds?
I would appreciate any help and suggestion.
Thank you in advance
