[Samba] Windows 7 problem accessing domain member samba serve r on different subnet

[Hoover, Tony]

We recently ran into a similar issue.  If you have any microsoft "Live"
components installed on your 7 box, samba servers must be contacted by
numeric IP address rather than netbios (or even IP mnemonic) name.

Subject: [Samba] Windows 7 problem accessing domain member samba server on
different subnet

Hi All,

I have a problem accessing Samba 3.0.33 on some CentOS 5 machines on a
different subnet from a Windows 7 computer.

All servers and computers are joined to a Windows 2003 AD domain.

I have identical samba machines on two subnets (CentOS/samba 3.0.33).
The samba machines on the same subnet as my Win 7 computer are accessible
both by the netbios name and ip address.

The samba machines on another subnet are only accessible by IP address. If I
attempt to access these samba servers using their netbios name, I get
prompted for a password.

This configuration has worked for some time, and all CentOS/samba machines
are accessible by Windows XP and 2003 using the netbios name.

I believe Windows 2008 servers have the same issues as Windows 7.
Access can only be made by IP address and not netbios name.

Is this a known issue, or something specific to my environment? I have been
googling this for some time and I cannot find any issue identical to this.

Some additional info:

security = domain
client use spnego = no
encrypt passwords = yes
ntlm auth = yes
lanman auth = yes
client ntlmv2 auth = yes
remote browse sync = 10.0.0.255 10.0.0.0 remote announce = 10.0.0.255
10.0.0.0 local master = no wins server = ip of ad wins server

 - Not using winbind but nss_ldap and AD schema extension to support POSIX
attributes.
 - There are no packet filters between subnets.
 - The router is configured to dish out IPv6 addresses, and the Windows 7
machine has an IPv6 address, as do all the samba/centos machines. However,
the samba/centos machines don't have any AAAA records, and samba 3.0 does
not support IPv6.

I'm fairly stumped. Any tips?

Regards,

Dan
