[Samba] client VPN disconnects samba shares

2003-03-15 Thread Pat Schlehuber
I am running Samba 2.2.7a in domain mode .. all is great.


I have a XP user on my local network that connects to samba as a domain user - so far 
so good.

This users also has a Cisco VPN client for connecting over the internet to another 
application at a service bureau. When the VPN client is activated, all traffic from 
this machine is only forwarding network traffic over the VPN pipe. Obviously, this 
causes a problem with my Samba shares as they are no longer available. When the VPN 
client is shutdown all is well again.

The VPN configuration is provided by the service bureau so I have no control over its 
configuration. 

My local network is DHCP controlled using 192.168.0.*/24 and the VPN pipe is connected 
to a public address over the internet connection. I am using WINS on the Samba server, 
put I still cannot ping anything on my local network.

I may be answering my own question, but do I need to get the service bureau to supply 
me with a VPN configuration that places everything over the VPN Pipe except for 
192.168.0.* addresses?


Any thoughts?
Pat

is your problem that you cannot see/ping your local lan while your
cisco-vpn is up? 
If yes then its a cisco-vpn-client/xp routing issue and nothing to do
with samba. Easy solution...close vpn when you want to work locally.
Sorry I can't suggest anything more practical.
