similar to: Browsing workgroups on remote subnets

The samba configuration on the local LAN works great but, I am trying to set up samba to permit browsing of two workgroups on different subnets and getting very close but not quite the results I want. Remote shares can be mapped to a local drive using "net use * \\remotehost\remoteshare" but in windows explorer the remote workgroup is not browsable : there is a "computer could not

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

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

Many thanks to all the Samba fans for your ideas and suggestions. Eventually all the indicators pointed at a W95 client that was (somehow) selectively working with everything except Samba. I took out my W95 repair tools (fdisk & format) and after a new install (and setting the registry to use plaintext passwords) everything worked fine. When I also re-installed all the other M$ patches,

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 |

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

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

I have problems to get browse lists from other workgroups across subnets. On win95 network neighbourhood I have a complete list form all computers in the same workgroup (including computers located on an other subnet) and a workgroup list. But if I try to look at the computers on an other workgroup I get an error message: workgroup not available. The subnet has an samba server (2.0.3) configured

When doing the 5.2 installation the ONLY drive option provided is mapper/nvidia_cbjcdhfe (250G) My system has 2 SATA - 250G drives and I want to use them in a RAID/LVM configuration. My question: How do I get the installer to let me use DiskDruid to create RAID1 arrays and then use LVM for the mount points? What I've done so far: I've verified that both drives are recognized by

Hi, I'm trying to set up browsing across subnets to provide an 'enterprise'-wide (sorry for the MS term ;-) browse list / Network Neighbourhood. I've read BROWSING.TXT, but I can't see how machines on different subnets in different domains/workgroups sync up (using Samba, anyway). On my local subnet, I've set up a clunky old Linux 386 (Samba 1.9.18p8) as the browse

We have the following Network: +------------Router-----------+ | | | | | | --Network (A)-- ---Network (B)--- 10.1.1.1/24 10.1.2.1/24 Workgroup=NET1 Workgroup=NET2 Win9x, PC (A)

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 -

I having difficulty getting browsing to fully work across two subnets. The subnets (having private addresses - 192.168.x.0) are connected by Linux boxes (RH6.1, one for each subnet) functioning as firewall, IP masquerade and router. On one subnet (call this one LEFT), there is an NT4.0 server as the PDC (also running WINS and DHCP) along with 50 or so clients and other servers (NT, Win9x) in

Each samba server in our network is providing shares on two workgroups. How can we establish that it announce itself directly in those two groups, without showing up in the other groups of the network. We defined one WINS server, which is the domain master. We could define 'local masters' but they would show up only in one of the two groups. We have tried the 'remote

I think you need a DMB and LMB. Assuming you have no NT servers in your network, try these in [global]: domain master=yes preferred master=yes local master=yes os level=65 Note that if your other workgroups are on separate subnets, this gets trickier, involving WINS, etc. Steve Litt At 09:09 PM 02/16/2000 +1100, you wrote: >Hi all, >can anybody explain why win9x (or i think also NT) from

I have a network with several sites, and all clients (mostly win9x) using one WINS server (Samba on RH Linux). The different sites have one or more workgroups each, and I want all workgroups to be visible and browsable for all clients. As far as I can make out, the clients at the various networks can only browse the workgroups which are either local or the one the WINS server is a member of. Not

Hi, I have 3 Samba servers run Samba 2.0.7 on RH6.2, with Kernel 2.2.16-3. Everything seems to be OK, except that my Win9x clients cannot see other Win9x clients across the subnets. Each server has 2 n/w cards installed, with IP Forwading enabled etc. If the user knows the machine name, he can get access to the shared resources across all 3 subnets, but using the n/w neighbourhood browser, shows

we have samba [mostly] working in a VPN application connecting two Mandrake subnets using SSH. if all machines define the same workgroup name, and we define a single domain master browser, (with the other subnet defined as a preferred, local, master browser,) and a single WINS server, after a little while, all shares are visible to all WIN9x machines. this samba stuff is fantastic! 2 questions:
