RE: [expert] Samba and two-class_network...

Does this server have two nic cards in it, one for one subnet and one for
the other subnet. If so, you can setup Linux to work like a router and
transfer packets from one subnet to the other. In SAMBA you can setup the
interface too use one workgroup but transfer the packets from one subnet to
the other. This will allow you to have shares on one subnet and the other
subnet can access them. I did this once and had it working until I got my
HUB, then I switched everything over to one subnet. Also, are you planning
to use SAMBA as a PDC controller for both subnets?

Indeed we have quite a big LAN. The two "C" classes are controlled by a
Cisco 
Router, and they are mixed on the same cable anyway... It's a campus
network, 
can you understand what I mean?  :-)
