Samba Machine 2 ethernet interfaces, 1 is DHCP via ISP and another is 10.10.0.1
VPN (POPTOP) is installed on the server (Server IP: 10.10.0.1, Client IPs: 10.10.0.2-255) Trying to connect to samba server (as \\10.10.0.1\NetRender) from windows xp client connected to the server via VPN and received ip of 10.10.0.2 Here is smb.conf [global] workgroup = InverseForge security = SHARE browseable = yes lm announce = yes browse list = yes auto services = yes [NetRender] writeable = yes path = /NetRender # write list = nobody # force directory mode = 755 create mode = 755 # valid users = nobody public = yes read only = no browseable = yes mangle case = yes revalidate = yes force user = nobody use client driver = yes I tried to make it so simple with just few lines. Then I heard from somewhere that 2 subnet masks can cause some problem ... so added more parameters in smb.conf Here are few lines of my system log which is giving more sensible hint: Jan 6 18:50:37 user-0ccet6p nmbd[13329]: write_browse_list: Can't open file /var/lib/samba/browse.dat..
