...es of evidence: 1. No Wins.dat registration over VPN. On the WINS server, I can view look at the wins.dat file to see which machines registered with the wins server. If I connect from an XP laptop over the VPN, I do not see the machine in wins.dat. (It does get added to browse.dat.) 2. NBlookup fails over VPN. Microsoft provides a tool called "nblookup" for doing NetBios name lookups by querying a name server. You can optionally specify the WINS server if the client is not configured to use one, or it you want to query a different WINS server. e.g nblookup SOMEMACHIN...

...as security=server, pointed to an NT PDC for security (using the netbios name; should this be by ip address?); passwords are encrypted. I can use smbclient to attach to my own samba shares. I can also attach to other NT shares as a client and view network lists. I can resolve netbios names with nblookup (but only my static IP servers; DHCP workstation clients don't return their ip). But I can't nblookup with -d (broadcasting--no responses at all; this was working fine earlier under a previous attempt at installing samba, so it probably isn't an ip/mask error). And while my samba server...

...P professional. The remote client is not a domain member. All clients work when directly connected to the Samba server (broadcast), whether domain members or not. I run WINS support on Samba which is working. I can see my remote machine registered under WINS and can query the WINS database with nblookup from all clients. DNS is also fine (forward and reverse) from all clients. I can also manually attach to a share from the routed client with a UNC-Path. IP connectivity is fine between all machines in the network, windows connectivity also. It is just the browse list that doesn't work. 192.1...

...ba server (ARISTOTLE) is in the 172.16.0.x subnet and my XP desktop (TIMAEUS) is in 192.168.0.x. There is no NAT or firewall running in between the subnets. Aristotle acts as a WINS server and is recognized as such in Timaeus' ipconfig output. Name lookups work fine, as verified by MS's nblookup tool. Also, I can browse shares on Aristotle using \\aristotle, so the problem is just that the server doesn't register for browsing. I ran a capture using ethereal, and everything in there looks OK. The desktop boots up and registers its name with WINS on the server. Shortly thereafter, t...

I realize this is not a strictly a samba "problem" but I am hoping that there is a samba solution. I have a samba 3.6.20 PDC. I am running WINS. We use an IPSec client VPN to allow users with Windows 7 laptops to connect to the office remotely. The windows 7 laptops are joined to the Samba domain. Password expiration policies are enforced. When you login to

...e investigated further. The problem: Clients directly connected to the subnets of the Samba server get a browse list (network neigborhood), while clients that access the serveer over a router do not. there are no broadcasts, Samba is functioning as a WINS server and is working for all clients (nblookup proves this). I upgraded from 3.0.10 to 3.0.20b-1 but this made no difference. I have spent quite some time with Ethereal an notice that all clients request SRVSVC NetrServerGetInfo request (port 445) and the information is false in the response from the Samba server : This is NOT a potential br...

...d greatest samba 2.2 ok I work in a large network.1000 plus pcs in multiple subnets...

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
