Someone else on the list may correct me, but I think the problem is
that the computer joining the domain is discovering the domain
controller by broadcast -- and broadcasts don't cross the router.
I suppose this might help you understand what you are dealing with:

NetworkBrowsing.html
Somewhere in the network control panel, you can tell your windows
workstation to use WINS first for name resolution, and if the remote
samba is also acting as a wins server, that is the one you will want
to use to discover the controller for your domain.
Or perhaps you can customize the workstation's LMHOSTS file, prior to
making the attempt to join the domain.

Hi all:
I have a question about join domain.
If my samba server and domain controller are in different subnet
(such as 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x), two conditions happened:
ADS domain
1. if I use domain name, then join fail.
2. if I use IP address of domain controller, join success.
However, in both cases I can't retrieve domain users/groups.
Is it necessary for samba sever and domain controller in the same
subnet in order to get domain users/list list?
Can NT domain in different subnet?
Thanks in advance.
Latrell.
