Hello,
I have been searching for answers now more then a
week, but I cannot find a proper solution.
Please help me with this:
Scenario:
Two differnet subnetted networks (1 and
2) connected by a cipe tunnel between two linux Samba boxes over the
internet.
On network one (1) is a Windows NT PDC installed
which currently is the DMB for it's domain (1).
On network two (2) one of the linux Samba
tunnel boxes is a Samba PDC which currently is the DMB for it's domain
(2).
WINS is installed on the NT server on network one
(1).
I can ping all the computers from every
subnet.
Every other command like "net view", nbtstat, etc
works from every peer to every peer on both subnets.
I configured dhcp for all clients to use the NT
WINS as their WINS server. Now I only can browse both networks
(workgroups 1 and 2) on the NT (1) network and not the other way
arround.
The workgroup from network one (1) does not
appear in network neighbourhood on network one (2).
Altough I can use the "search computer" function
from windows to find one of the computers on the other end of the tunnel and
then use windows explorer to view the complete workgroup, I would really
like to be able to browse both networks on both ends of the tunnel trough the
network neighbourhood.
If I switch the WINS server from the NT server to
the Samba server it doesn't work either, I keep getting the workgroups in
network neighbourhood in only one end of the tunnel and only one network on the
other end.
Is this because the browse lists from the Samba PDC
can not be synchronised with the browse list from the NT PDC?
I also tried all kind of possible combinations with
the samba boxes to get the browse lists synchronised on both sides, but on
the network where the NT PDC rules, the Samba will refuse to exchange his
browse lists because it is not configured as a DMB (it say's), altough it has no
problems to become the LMB.
Is the only solution to install Samba PDC's on both
end's?
Or is there any other solution?
Please help me out here.
Thank you very much.
Eddie.
