Shorewall users - Feb 2004 - samba stopped?

Hi all!

I have something weird. I have a linux box setup as a router for my dsl 
connection. 1 interface is for dsl, two other nics local lan. So far 
standard setup.

On one of the lan nics I connected a LinkSys WRT54G, the device is setup 
in router mode, not gateway. (I have to wire the internet port of the 
linksys to a local lan nic or else wireless won''t work).

Everything has been working fine but all of a sudden a client on the 
linksys could not connect.

The LAN card that the linksys is connected to is using ips in the 
10.2.x.x range, the linksys gets an ip like 10.2.0.10.

The linksys hands out ip addresses in the 192.168.x.x range and I think 
this is causing the problem. This is a snippet from the log:

Feb  8 22:03:16 raveon nmbd[23217]: [2004/02/08 22:03:16, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:send_netbios_packet(172)

Feb  8 22:03:16 raveon nmbd[23217]:   send_netbios_packet: send_packet() 
to IP 192.168.1.103 port 137 failed

Feb  8 22:03:16 raveon nmbd[23217]: [2004/02/08 22:03:16, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:query_name_from_wins_server(297)

Feb  8 22:03:16 raveon nmbd[23217]:   query_name_from_wins_server: Failed 
to send packet trying to query name SABINE<03>

I haven''t got a clue however why this has been working for over a year
and
all of a sudden it stopped working?

Ideas anyone?

Thanks! Remco

Are you saying that the linksys doesn''t have a fixed address?

Your Linux router needs to know how to route to 192.168.0.0/16 so you
presumabely have a route defined to that network through the Linksys. If
the Linksys gets an address other than the gateway address in that route,
then your Linux box can''t route to the 192.168.0.0/16 network.

If this is your situation, I would set up your DHCP server such that the
Linksys always gets the same IP address.
