Samba is not the easiest thing to debug I'll admit. You have two networks of windows machines joined by a machine that happens to be an linux LVS director, but which isn't doing anything to packets to ports 137,138. Getting the two networks of windows machines to be on the same NT domain (or whatever its called) has got to be a solved problem (although I don't know the solution). Do the two lots of windows machines have to be on the same IP network? In this case you'll have to NAT out 137,138 on the realservers (I think both udp and tcp are involved). If not, then you'll need to setup the director to do the routing (turn off lvs first to simplify things). I expect Samba has got to be able to do it as well. For the ip2route method of getting realservers to talk to the outside world have a look at http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.non-lvs_clients_on_realservers.html#3-tier_routes Joe -- Joseph Mack NA3T EME(B,D), FM05lw North Carolina jmack (at) wm7d (dot) net - azimuthal equidistant map generator at http://www.wm7d.net/azproj.shtml Homepage http://www.austintek.com/ It's GNU/Linux! _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [email protected] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
