AW: browsing mystery....

Hi,

ok, i have a partial function so far, the browsing list contents both network clients,
but only one-way working, i think this is due to the fact of our "NAT-Gateway" - only
allowing connections incoming which have a corresponding outgoing connection first,
so we have to test a port forwarding to the internal Local Master Browser.
So, when I try to connect a host from the list from the inside network, i can connect (wins
server & routing must be set), but if i try to connect from the outside (172.16.14.0),
i got an error message - means my "NAT-GW" don't let the connection on port "139"
in, "smbclient -L 192.168.108.10" works;

But for a not "masquerading/natting" network this should work; most of the information
i used can be found in the text-documentation, named "browsing.txt", etc.
!!! guest account = xxx !!! very important to set


hope this helps anyway, i'll try the complete solution with nat;

 


take care,

Sebastian
