Hi, I have a win domain with samba PDC on linux on the public network. I have another linux machine in that network with 2 network cards. eth0 on the public network (a.b.c.d) eth1 on a privet network (192.168.15.1) There is one computer with win xp connected to eth1. How can I make that 'private' computer make to be part of the win-network in the public network? (If I connect the 'private' computer to the public network (with correct IP numbers), everything is OK). I made some port forwarding and firewall adjustment on the linux box with 2 network cards (see below). But PDC is not accessible. A, PDC smb.conf: hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 x.y.0.0/16 192.168.15.0/24 B, private computer: IP: 192.168.15.23 gw: 192.168.15.1 (eth1 of the linux box) C, linux box with 2nw cards (iptables extracts): ACCEPT all -- eth1 * 192.168.15.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 ACCEPT udp -- * * 192.168.15.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW multiport dports 137,138 ACCEPT udp -- * * x.y.0.0/16 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW multiport dports 137,138 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 192.168.15.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:139 ACCEPT tcp -- * * x.y.0.0/16 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:139 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 192.168.15.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:445 ACCEPT tcp -- * * x.y.0.0/16 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:445 NAT PREROUTING DNAT tcp -- * * x.y.0.0/16 a.b.c.d multiport dports 137,138 to:192.168.15.23 DNAT udp -- * * x.y.0.0/16 a.b.c.d multiport dports 137,138 to:192.168.15.23 DNAT tcp -- * * x.y.0.0/16 a.b.c.d multiport dports 139,445 to:192.168.15.23 DNAT udp -- * * x.y.0.0/16 a.b.c.d multiport dports 139,445 to:192.168.15.23 POSTROUTING SNAT all -- * eth0 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 to:a.b.c.d Thanks for your help!
