Just a thought. Does the firewall on the OpenVPN routers allow for the samba traffic? open ports and all. I have the same configuration. multiple site-to-site VPN using openVPN. I do not have a problem joining to a domain that is on a remote site. Does the smb.conf have an "interfaces" option that is limiting which networks it listens on?

Hope this helps

Hi,

I already tried that, no success.

The VPN connects two subnets via OpenVPN with dedicated routers on each side.


thx

Did you try a packet capture on the samba server?

Try adding a entry for the XP machine in the server's /etc/hosts file.

I am guessing there is some sort of weird name resolution issue going on
with the server.    I don't think there is any reason the server should
need to resolve the name of the client machine but I have had weird
issues with VPN connections before.

This is a site-to-site VPN?

Hello everybody,

we have a problem joining a domain from a remote location.

The remote location is connected via VPN. Everything is working as exspected
but joining the samba domain from the remote location does not work.
- Server Samba Version is 3.5.10
- Windows Client is XP SP3
- Joining the domain locally works without problems
- ping does work in both directions
- WINS is running on the local PDC and resolves across VPN (I tested with a
Linux client using nbmlookup)
- the WINS server is configured on the client
- NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on the client
- Windows on the client firewall is OFF
- even adding entries to the client's lmhosts file didn't solve the problem


Any suggestions?


thx

Carsten
