Hi All Network #1 has been running successfully for a year using Samba as a PDC and file share with roaming profiles for about a dozen Windows XP clients. I have just set up Network #2 and would now like to give these clients access to the file share on Network #1 (via the Tinc VPN)... AND... still keep a local PDC with roaming profiles. NETWORK #1 Range: 192.168.0.0/24 Tinc/Samba PDC Server: 192.168.0.200 Workgroup: ABCLTDGROUP NETWORK #2 Range: 192.168.50.0/24 Tinc/Samba PDC Server: 192.168.50.200 Workgroup: ABCLTDGROUP Is this possible? Can I keep 2 Samba PDC Servers from clashing across the VPN part of the network? I do not want to have large scale roaming profiles from Network #2 transferring across the internet to Samba Server #1 because they are likely to corrupt. I am quite happy to change the role and workgroup names of clients/server in Network #2 so that it does not clash / work best with Network #1. Thanks for your help Paully

BBCLTDGROUP) - Install Trust Relationship between the two PDC's as described in the samba HOWTO's. - Use WINS so that the clients can see the remote side. IMHO this should work. -Andy.
