Hi,


The pc that runs the samba server is my own property, it also dubs as router and dhcp server. I assign WINS server to the clients by dhcp using dnsmasq. I do not need or want to setup a domain. I just want to share files between the two networks using windows neighborhood and a workgroup, just like the clients would have been connected in the same network.

I have deleted the "remote anounce" thingy but the error is the same: "The network path could not be found"

WINS needs to be set up correctly.



Maybe something has to do with the firewall? can you tell me which ports to open and their direction ?

Ports 137, 138, 139, and 445 should be sufficient.

Hi,
you have a (Samba)domain server and it is your wins?
You just to have an entry in your win xp clients wins-server:
YourSambaWinsServer.Enable Netbios over TCP
..
That is all. No: remote announce = 192.168.5.255/WORKGROUP
192.168.7.255/WORKGROUP
This is working for me with 3 subnets.

Hi to everyone on the mailing list.

I have two networks at home, apart from the internet. One is the wired
network, LAN, and the other is the wireless network, WLAN. They need to
be separated, not bridged, because of hardware issues.

I am trying to setup inter-networking browsing on these networks, pc's
on

LAN should see and browse pc's on WLAN
and viceversa.


After reading the manual I have enabled wins server master and wins
proxy

in samba configuration. However I can only see the pc's from the other
network, but I cannot
browse them, windows returns an error like "network path could not be
found".

The samba server runs on my router box, together with the firewall
(managed through shorewall) and dnsmasq for dhcp/dns.


Below is my global smb.conf part.

[global]
        server
 string = Samba Server
        interfaces = eth1, lo, wlan0
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        security = SHARE
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

        max log size = 50

        announce as = NT Workstation
        os level = 99
        lm interval = 10
        preferred master = Yes
        domain master = Yes
        wins proxy = Yes
        wins support = Yes
        remote announce = 192.168.5.255/WORKGROUP
 192.168.7.255/WORKGROUP
        create mask = 0666
        case sensitive = No
        preserve case = No
        short preserve
case = No

        hide special files = Yes
        map hidden = Yes
        store dos attributes = Yes
Thanks.
