browsing-problems on 2 subents (2 samba 2.0.7 pdcs and 2 domains)

[guenther deschner]

hi,

my setup: 
---------

2 samba 2.0.7 pdcs on SuSE 7.0 
connected via FreeSWan-Ipsec-Tunnel.

pdc a:
------
"interfaces = 192.168.17.21/255.255.255.0" 
subnet 192.168.17.0/255.255.255.0
domain:group

pdc b:
------
"interfaces = 192.168.18.20/255.255.255.0"
subnet 192.168.18.0/255.255.255.0
domain:group2

both pdcs have: 

        preferred master = True
        domain master = True
        name resolve order  = wins host bcast lmhosts

on subnet a, all clients are registred in the a-subnet's dns.
on subnet b, all clients are registred in the b-subnet's dns.

pdc a has "wins support = Yes"
pdc b has "wins server = 192.168.17.21" and "wins proxy = yes"
(hoping that wins-requests from clients of subnet b, who have as 
wins adress 192.168.18.20, are forwarded to the real wins-server on 
subnet a)

my problem:
-----------

i cannot do browsing from subnet b to subnet a. 
the domain "group2" appears in the browse list, but i can't browse 
it.

but i can browse the hosts of subnet a directly from subnet b via 
"\\netbiosname" in my explorer. (all authentification stuff 
works...)

i have no idea how to get this working.

i read browsing.txt and browsing-config.txt as well as the chapters 
in "using-samba".

here the /var/log/log.nmb of the pdc b:
all the other logs don't show any errors.

what could it be?
-> name-resolution-problem?
-> something with the guest account?

thanks for any hint!
