Greetings. I try to set up cross subnet browsing but I've encountered some difficulties. Let me introduce my situation
10.1.2.0 10.1.1.0 A_N1 -+ +- A_N1 | | B_N1 -+--[R1]=======[R2]--+- B_N2 . | VPN accross | . . | the Internet | . Z_N1 -+ +- Z_N A_N1 is 10.1.2.4, PDC A_N2 is 10.1.1.1, BDC the vpn makes everything look as if there was only one router between two networks (except of course of ping times). Please also note that I am aware of the difference between browsing and name resolution. In both networks there is the same DOMAIN. A_N[12] act as PDC and BDC, respectively. There is however a detail that makes the situation a little bit different than the one in the Samba3-HOWTO (ch.9). Both A_N1 and A_N2 run wins server, that's because I don't full trust the vpn. This forses using "remote announce" and "remote browse sync" There is something wierd, however, I can't find (smbclient -L A_N2 -N) any machines from N1 on the BDC. Instead i get messages like these on A_N2 process_host_announce: from A_N1<00> IP 10.1.2.4 to DOMAIN<1d> for server A_N1. write_browse_list: Wrote browse list into file /var/cache/samba/browse.dat process_master_browser_announce: Local master announce from A_N1 IP 10.1.2.4. process_master_browser_announce: Not configured as domain master - ignoring master announce. which seem to be triggered by these packets 11:55:36.244688 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 68, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 242) 10.1.2.4.138 > 10.1.1.1.138: [bad udp cksum 7635!] >>> NBT UDP PACKET(138) Res=0x110A ID=0x7F01 IP=10 (0xa).1 (0x1).2 (0x2).4 >>> (0x4) Port=138 (0x8a) Length=200 (0xc8) Res2=0x0 SourceName=A_N1 NameType=0x00 (Workstation) DestName=DOMAIN NameType=0x1D (Master Browser) SMB PACKET: SMBtrans (REQUEST) SMB Command = 0x25 Error class = 0x0 Error code = 0 (0x0) Flags1 = 0x0 Flags2 = 0x0 Tree ID = 0 (0x0) Proc ID = 0 (0x0) UID = 0 (0x0) MID = 0 (0x0) Word Count = 17 (0x11) TotParamCnt=0 (0x0) TotDataCnt=46 (0x2e) MaxParmCnt=0 (0x0) MaxDataCnt=0 (0x0) MaxSCnt=0 (0x0) TransFlags=0x0 Res1=0x0 Res2=0x0 Res3=0x0 ParamCnt=0 (0x0) ParamOff=0 (0x0) DataCnt=46 (0x2e) DataOff=86 (0x56) SUCnt=3 (0x3) Data: (6 bytes) [000] 01 00 01 00 02 00 \001\000\001\000\002\000 smb_bcc=63 Name=\MAILSLOT\BROWSE BROWSE PACKET BROWSE PACKET: Type=0x1 (HostAnnouncement) UpdateCount=0x2056 Res1=0xBF AnnounceInterval=2 (0x2) Name=A_N1 NameType=0x00 (Workstation) MajorVersion=0x4 MinorVersion=0x9 ServerType=0x9A2B ElectionVersion=0x10F BrowserConstant=0xAA55 Data: (14 bytes) [000] 53 65 72 77 65 72 20 70 6C 69 6B A2 77 00 Serwer p lik\242w\000 11:55:36.246539 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 69, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: UDP (17), length: 203) 10.1.2.4.138 > 10.1.1.1.138: [bad udp cksum a4ee!] >>> NBT UDP PACKET(138) Res=0x100A ID=0x7F02 IP=10 (0xa).1 (0x1).2 (0x2).4 >>> (0x4) Port=138 (0x8a) Length=161 (0xa1) Res2=0x0 SourceName=A_N1 NameType=0x00 (Workstation) DestName=* NameType=0x00 (Workstation) SMB PACKET: SMBtrans (REQUEST) SMB Command = 0x25 Error class = 0x0 Error code = 0 (0x0) Flags1 = 0x0 Flags2 = 0x0 Tree ID = 0 (0x0) Proc ID = 0 (0x0) UID = 0 (0x0) MID = 0 (0x0) Word Count = 17 (0x11) TotParamCnt=0 (0x0) TotDataCnt=7 (0x7) MaxParmCnt=0 (0x0) MaxDataCnt=0 (0x0) MaxSCnt=0 (0x0) TransFlags=0x0 Res1=0x0 Res2=0x0 Res3=0x0 ParamCnt=0 (0x0) ParamOff=0 (0x0) DataCnt=7 (0x7) DataOff=86 (0x56) SUCnt=3 (0x3) Data: (6 bytes) [000] 01 00 01 00 02 00 \001\000\001\000\002\000 smb_bcc=24 Name=\MAILSLOT\BROWSE BROWSE PACKET BROWSE PACKET: Type=0xD (MasterAnnouncement) MasterName=A_N1 >From time to time I also get: find_domain_master_name_query_fail: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name DOMAIN<1b> for the workgroup DOMAIN. Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup. I am quite confused with all this because that is not what I'd expect when I use remote browse sync. Best regards.
