Hello,
I'm trying to make browsing work over several routed subnets, but
obviously, something goes wrong. Here's the situation :
!-----------!
! hgsserver ! (SAMBA HOST)
!-----------!
|
|
|
|192.168.2.0/24 !----------! 192.168.3.0/24
|-----------------! wifigate !------------- - - -
| !----------! (several wireless WinXP boxes)
|
|
!--------------!
! WinXP box !
! "hoggins" !
!--------------!
I hope this is clear enough. Now here's my samba config on server
"hgsserver" :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
display charset = ASCII
ldap ssl = no
passwd chat debug = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
browse list = Yes
root directory = /
guest ok = Yes
domain master = Yes
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
interfaces = eth0
map to guest = Bad User
time server = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
wins support = true
cups options = raw
netbios aliases = hgsserver
server string = PARTAGES
unix password sync = Yes
local master = Yes
workgroup = BOUFFARD
os level = 32
server signing = auto
printcap name = /etc/printcap
max log size = 50
pam password change = Yes
[...] (several shares declarations)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My browse.dat does not contain all I need, it just contains my machine
("hoggins") and the server. I would like to have all the other hosts
that are on subnet 192.168.3.0/24. These hosts have received the
server's IP address as the WINS server in their DHCP transaction, and I
can see they communicate with it when doing an ethereal analysis.
But the browse list remains desperately empty from these hosts.
Any ideas on how to solve this really annoying problem ?
Thanks in advance,
Hoggins!

Because WINS does not jump routers, you'll need to tell the client where to find this information. -- Regards, Christopher Barry Manager of Information Systems SilverStorm Technologies, Inc.
