[Samba] remote browse sync triggers error Packet send failed
Hello, I need to use WINS browsing to allow Mac computers to list Windows served printers. Mac clients and Windows print server (Windows 2012R2) are on separate subnets: - Mac clients on 10.1.0.0/16 subnet - print server on 10.10.0.0/16 subnet A Samba server (10.1.10.24) is a master browser on subnet 10.1 and another Samba server (10.10.31.73) is a master browser on subnet 10.10 each server has only one network interface on its subnet. So referring to https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch07.html I thought the remote browse sync would allow any SMB Client (including Mac) with 10.1.10.24 as WINS server to also list the browse list from subnet 10.10 ? smb.conf WINS config on 10.1.10.24: wins support = yes dns proxy = yes local master = yes os level = 255 preferred master = yes remote browse sync = 10.10.31.73 smb.conf WINS config on 10.10.31.73: wins support = yes name resolve order = wins dns proxy = yes local master = yes os level = 255 preferred master = yes Something does not work as expected because browse list from subnet 10.10 is not available to clients on subnet 10.1 nmbd log file on 10.1.10.24 shows error: Packet send failed to 10.10.31.73(138) ERRNO=Invalid argument firewall between 10.1.10.24 and 10.10.31.73 lets every network flow both directions. A network capture shows no communication from 10.1.10.24 to 10.10.31.73 Any idea about what goes wrong here ? Thank you Alban
