Hi, I've got a small network at home with a topology as follows: -- Cable Modem -- Router 1 -- Switch 1 -- Server 1 | Router 2/Switch 2 --+-- Server 2 | | | WAP 1 --+ +-- WAP 2 +-- Client 1 | +-- Client 2 Router 1 and WAP 1 have NAT enabled. Router 2 and WAP 2 do not have NAT enabled. Server 1 and Server 2 are Linux boxes. Client 1 and Client 2 are Win XP I use the following sub-nets: Switch 1 - 192.168.1.0/24 Switch 2 - 192.168.2.0/24 WAP 1 - 192.168.3.0/24 WAP 2 - 192.168.4.0/24 A caching name server runs on Server 1 and also an internal DNS service. There is "full" connectivity between all machines on the "internal" side of router 2, i.e. Client 1, Client 2, and Server 2 can all ping each other. Even without introducing SAMBA into the equation I am not able to successfully browse shares/printers on client 1 from client 2. Is this possible across different subnets? Are there any special steps I need to take? I have installed SAMBA on Server 2 and would like to be able to browse shares on Server 2 from both Client 1 and Client 2. Can anyone point me at any resources that might help me work this out? Thanks, R. -- http://robinbowes.com

You must have a domain master browser somewhere in the domain You should have a WINS server on the network with each system configured to use it. These are generally set with the election process. domain master browser (ideally the PDC): [global] domain master = yes os level = 255 preferred master = yes local master = yes remote browse sync = <space separated ip addy's of other local masters> (although I'm not sure if the last is necessary on the domain master) local master browsers: [global] preferred master = yes os level = 33 local master = yes remote browse sync = <space separated ip addy's of other local masters>> Thanks, > > R.Cheers, lance -- Lance Levsen, Catprint Computing Linux Systems and programming Saskatoon, SK., CA. gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0xF2DA79C8 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
