 Hi all,

 I would like two Samba servers to be able to talk to each other via 
NetBIOS.  The problem is that they are on two different subnets.  I have 
enabled broadcast ping on the routers, and the servers can each ping the 
other subnet with no trouble.  The two relevant IPs are 192.168.1.101 
and 192.168.2.3.  There is a T1 between two Cisco routers, and IP 
routing is all set up.
 Currently 192.168.1.x is the CORP domain. Samba PDC is acting as the 
WINS server.

 192.168.2.x is the FURN server, and its Samba PDC is acting as its 
WINS server.

In my opinion, it is wrong.
On one server, set:
wins support = yes
On the other:
wins server = 192.168.5.2  # (IP of the first one)
wins proxy = yes

you will also have to allow certain hosts/subnets on each server:
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 192.168.5.2 127.0.0.1

I did this, and I think it MIGHT have worked.  Not sure.  I get this:
oink:/usr/local/samba/var/locks # net rpc trustdom establish furn
Password:
Could not connect to server FURNSRV
Trust to domain FURN established
urnsrv:/usr/local/samba/var/locks # net rpc trustdom establish corp
Password:
Could not connect to server CORPSRV
Trust to domain CORP established
How in the world do I know if it worked or not.  Going to check it now.  
Either way those errors certainly are sending mixed signals.

It only will let me connect as a guest.  I don't know if that's the expected 
behavior -- need to read more.  The more important this is being able to join 
a domain on a different subnet, as that is what needs to happen when I 
combine the two domains into one.

don't know about joining a domain from another network - never tried.
I only tried joining the same domain (although in a different network).
This is how it works for me:
In the Network neighbourhood of your windows machine you should see 
hosts from both networks.

smbclient -L server should list hosts from each network.
Another problem you might have is too restrictive firewall between the 
two subnets - you will see the hosts, will be able to browse, but won't 
be able to join the domain.
