Hi,
I've been struggling with getting subnet browsing to work on my home
network for some time and have decided to give it another go.
This is my network configuration:
Internet ----- Cisco SOHO97
(192.168.1.1)
| | |
+------------+ | +----------------+
| | | |
| (192.168.1.5) (192.168.1.250) (192.168.1.249)
| dude batmobile tosh
| (samba server) (XP client) (XP client)
|
(192.168.1.4)
Linksys WRT54GS
(192.168.4.1)
|
|
(192.168.4.147)
tosh2
(XP client)
The Linksys router is routing between networks - no NAT is involved.
I'm using the workgroup "HOME" and all XP clients are members of this
workgroup.
My smb.conf is as follows:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = HOME
server string = Samba Server
guest account = ftp
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
os level = 255
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
os level = 255
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
ldap ssl = no
remote announce = 192.168.4.255/HOME 192.168.3.255/HOME
remote browse sync = 192.168.4.255 192.168.3.255
cups options = raw
name resolve order = wins,lmhosts,host,bcast
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 192.168.3. 192.168.4.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[music]
comment = Music files used by slimserver
path = /home/slimserver/music
write list = robin
read only = No
[test]
comment = Test share
path = /home/test
write list = robin
read only = No
[cdrom]
comment = DVD/CD Writer on Dude
path = /media/cdrecorder
read only = Yes
[slim]
comment = Slimserver source tree
path = /usr/local/slimserver
read only = Yes
[apache]
comment = Apache home
path = /home/apache
write list = robin
read only = No
I've shutdown all XP machines and restarted samba (smbd and nmbd) then
restarted all XP machines.
If I browse to My Network Places\Microsoft Windows Network\Home on each
of the XP machines, here's what I see under Home on each machine:
Tosh2: Tosh2
All shares on Dude under My Network Places
Batmobile: Batmobile, Dude
Tosh: Batmobile, Dude
Some shares on Dude under My Network Places
Some shares on Batmobile under My Network Places
What I don't understand is:
1. Why can't I see Tosh from Batmobile?
2. Why can't I see Tosh from Tosh ??!!
3. Why can't I see Tosh, Batmobile, or Dude from Tosh2?
4. Why can't I see Tosh2 from Tosh, Batmobile, or Dude?
Name resolution appears to be working (I can ping
tosh|tosh2|batmobile|dude from tosh|tosh2|batmobile|dude)
Am I missing something?
R.
