[Samba] join domain from different subnet (VPN)
Hello everybody, we have a problem joining a domain from a remote location. The remote location is connected via VPN. Everything is working as exspected but joining the samba domain from the remote location does not work. - Server Samba Version is 3.5.10 - Windows Client is XP SP3 - Joining the domain locally works without problems - ping does work in both directions - WINS is running on the local PDC and resolves across VPN (I tested with a Linux client using nbmlookup) - the WINS server is configured on the client - NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on the client - Windows on the client firewall is OFF - even adding entries to the client's lmhosts file didn't solve the problem Any suggestions? thx Carsten
Did you try a packet capture on the samba server? Try adding a entry for the XP machine in the server's /etc/hosts file. I am guessing there is some sort of weird name resolution issue going on with the server. I don't think there is any reason the server should need to resolve the name of the client machine but I have had weird issues with VPN connections before. This is a site-to-site VPN?

Hi, I already tried that, no success. The VPN connects two subnets via OpenVPN with dedicated routers on each side. thx Carsten -----Original message----- To: samba at lists.samba.org; From: Gaiseric Vandal <gaiseric.vandal at gmail.com> Sent: Thu 30-08-2012 14:58 Subject: Re: [Samba] join domain from different subnet (VPN)> Did you try a packet capture on the samba server? > > Try adding a entry for the XP machine in the server's /etc/hosts file. > > I am guessing there is some sort of weird name resolution issue going on > with the server.

Hi abosch, I checked with nblookup.exe from the cleint side. WINS resolution works without any problems. The DC as well as the client and the domain are resolved via WINS. ;-( thx Carsten -----Original message----- To: real-men-dont-click at gmx.net; CC: samba at lists.samba.org; gaiseric vandal <gaiseric.vandal at gmail.com>; From: Angel Bosch <abosch at cilma.net> Sent: Thu 30-08-2012 15:27 Subject: Re: [Samba] join domain from different subnet (VPN)> we had lot of problems with Wins and remote sites. > > be sure Wins traffic is passing. > > abosch > > > -------------------------------- > From: real-men-dont-click at gmx.net > To: samba at lists.samba.org, "gaiseric vandal" <gaiseric.vandal at gmail.com> > Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 3:21:06 PM > Subject: Re: [Samba] join domain from different subnet (VPN) > > Hi, > > I already tried that, no success. > > The VPN connects two subnets via OpenVPN with dedicated routers on each side. > > > thx > > Carsten > > > > -----Original message----- > To:????????samba at lists.samba.org; > From:????????Gaiseric Vandal <gaiseric.vandal at gmail.com> > Sent:????????Thu 30-08-2012 14:58 > Subject:????????Re: [Samba] join domain from different subnet (VPN) > > Did you try a packet capture on the samba server? > > > > Try adding a entry for the XP machine in the server's /etc/hosts file. > > > > I am guessing there is some sort of weird name resolution issue going on > > with the server. ? ?I don't think there is any reason the server should > > need to resolve the name of the client machine but I have had weird > > issues with VPN connections before. > > > > This is a site-to-site VPN? ? > > > > On 08/30/12 05:34, real-men-dont-click at gmx.net wrote: > > > Hello everybody, > > > > > > we have a problem joining a domain from a remote location. > > > > > > The remote location is connected via VPN.
