Hi All I have installed Samba 3 under RHEL v4, with LDAP support for the authentication and as a PDC Domain, it seems everything works fine, but the only problem was the network browser list. We have a different subnet 192.168.X., 192.168.Y., 192.168.Z., etc..., Samba local browser works fine, but the remote subnet and workgroup are inaccessible, I double check the nmbd logs, there an error which I can't resolve it related to wins server <packet_is_for_wins_server: failing WINS test #1.>, it seems the Samba wins server try to update the database but no success, I am not sure about the reason behind, I tried many things to solve it, I installed a samba4wins server which is a replicate server for wins windows server, but the same, I tried to make a samba to listen to microsoft wins server (wins server = X.Y.Z.T), but the same problems. For your information, the all subnet are connected through a Cisco router for the intranet and for the internet connection through another Linux router, the default router for the samba server (broadcast) is the internal router (Cisco). I have attached my smb.conf here for more details about the configuration. PS: There is another internal error (Bug) if I try to configure a wins proxy support with the latest update of Samba with RHEL ES4 U4.
