similar to: Browse lists from other workgroups across subnets

Hi How do I get the following browse-setup to work? --------- | A | |Linux | --------- WG1 192.168.10.0 | | WG2 192.168.10.0 ---------------------- ----------------- | | | -------- -------- -------- | B | | C | | D | |Win98 | |WinNT | |Win98 |

(Samba version 1.9.18p4) I want to set up my environment thusly: - 2 workgroups, each composed of multiple subnets. - Each workgroup has a DMB and a WINS server (Samba only - no NT) - The two workgroups should collate browse lists so that clients on either workgroup can browse and connect to hosts on the opposite workgroup. I've read the documentation in BROWSING.txt and it does not appear

I am still trying to make samba work over a WAN with multiple workgroups although I am just about to throw in the towel. I had hoped to find a solution that would permit a Windows PC to browse a (MS) workgroup (ie retrieve the browse list from the workgroup master browser for a remote (MS) workgroup when that MB is NOT a samba server). Since WINS only provides the broadcast address of the remote

Why does browsing across subnets only work if all of the machines are in the same workgroup? We're really a unix and mac campus, but we're trying to support windows machines by using a samba server to let them print and let the students access a little chunk of disk space. I've got a samba server set up as the workgroup SERVERS, and I've told it to be a domain master, a

Hi, I have read all I can find about browsing (BROWSING.txt, BROWSING-Config.txt, SWAT pages, etc. There are many discussions on the precise dynamics involved in Local Master Browsers synchronising with a Domain Master Browser (in a cross-subnet environment). I am trying to understand the mechanism that is used when there are Multiple Domains on the same network, and how the Browse List is

Is it possible to browse multiple workgroups on two or more subnets? I have set up samba on either end of a VPN and can browse successfully from either end, but only in the workgroup that samba is configured for. Can Samba be a member of more than one workgroup at the same time? Looking in browse.dat I can see all the machines in samba's workgroup and also the other workgroups, but not the

Is this stretching the limits of what Samba was designed to do? I have set up a VPN with 2 LANs (I'll call them EastLAN and WestLAN) interconnected through the internet. On EastLAN there is a samba server configured to be the domain master browser as well as the WINS server. PCs connected to this LAN are Win9X and are all in the workgroup EAST. On the WestLAN there is a samba server

Hello After seeking solutions and fixes to the problem I'm experiencing and not finding any, I turn here. If there is no solution, please don't be shy to pointing out that too :-) The problem: I have multiple IP-networks with windows clients in them. Some are 95, most are 98, some 2000 and xps. Most networks have at least one NT4.0 server in them, some have more, some have none. Each

I've got a moderate network with several subnets, a number of domains and workgroups. I have a central WINS server, each domain has its own PDC. My problem is transient users. We have occasional users who plug a laptop into the network. Once they leave, they hang around in Network Neighborhood forever. Then I have users who curiously click on their icon in NN and their machine just

All the machines on both subnets are running XP Home or Pro and are all part of the same workgroup (WORKGROUP). I've added an OpenSUSE box on x.x.2.1 and have set it as the WINS server with a very simple

Hi everyone, I'm getting roughed up trying a new setup on my server. I tried this with 1.9.18p10 and now with 2.0.3, first I want to see if I'm getting this correctly and then if there's a solution to what I think is happening. I have the following setup: One server with two NICs IP1=130.6.96.2, IP2=130.6.98.2, SM = 255.255.255.0 (BTW, these are internal IPs, not internet

Hello, I have been searching for answers now more then a week, but I cannot find a proper solution. Please help me with this: Scenario: Two differnet subnetted networks (1 and 2) connected by a cipe tunnel between two linux Samba boxes over the internet. On network one (1) is a Windows NT PDC installed which currently is the DMB for it's domain (1). On network two (2) one of the linux

You can see by the subject I've got an ugly problem. Even though I don't have a Samba server anywhere near the network in question, nobody understands browsing as well as the folks on the Samba team. :-) Here's the situation: I've got two workgroups, FLINTSTONE and RUBBLE which are on physically separate networks. FLINTSTONE has a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain

Hi everyone, I think I solved it: - I installed WINS on both sides on the PDC's (Samba on the one end, NT on the other). - On both subnets the clients are configured by dhcp to use their own PDC's WINS as their primairy WINS server and the WINS on the remote PDC as their "secondairy" WINS server. - TCPIP configuration on the Windows NT PDC configured to use it's own WINS

Hi, I have a samba 2.2.1a (cvs-06.08.2001) running as PDC for my domain, and it is doing fine. But in the broadcast domain there are severeal other workgroups (no domains) with their own Domain Master Browsers. Additionaly there are always a lot of unconfigured computers not under my control, which build their own workgroups (e.g. mdkhome, workgroup...). My problem is now, how do I prevent all

I'm sorry if people are getting fed up with my question, but I didn't get a response from the first post, and I didn't even see the second post appear in the summary. Hi All, this is probably a common problem and FAQ but I can't the solution. I've got two subnets, 10.1.1.0/255.255.0.0 at Leeds and 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0 at Doncaster. At Leeds, I've got samba running as

I'm having two problems. I encountered the second while trying to set up a clean environment to work on the first. Can somebody tell me if (a) I've done something obviously wrong, or (b) this is a known Samba bug? Any help is appreciated. John. First problem: From nmbd: domain_master_node_status_fail: Doing a node status request to the domain master browser for workgroup

On my PDC, which is also the DMB, there is a duplicate entry for a trusted domain that is run on an AD controller on the same ethernet segment. The duplicate, though, has several spaces after the name (from browse.dat): "BROADWAY" 80001000 "CALIMERO" "BROADWAY" "BROADWAY " 80001000 "CALIMERO"

Hi, I am configuring a network with two subnets with a different workgroup in each subnet. My aim is to have users being able to view and access shares on both workgroups. I have a Samba server in each subnet/workgroup, configured as both the domain and local master for each workgroup. Each server is also the WINS server for its subnet. The setup is like this: Subnet1: network -
