Browsing/Subnets/ Workgroups

[Brian Fernald]

Our network is setup as follows :




|-----------Subnet A
|           Workgroup :  LAB
|           All WIN95 machines (clients)
|
-
router
-
|
|
|
|-----------Subnet B
            Workgroup : ADMIN
            WINS SERVER / Samba Server
            WIN95 machines (clients)


All of our win95 machines point to the Samba server as the WINS server and
fileserver.  Machines in Subnet B  can see the LAB workgroup icon in the
network neighborhood, but access it (error :  LAB is not accessible. The
computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly,
and try again)  ......   If I change the network property of a computer in
Subnet A to be in workgroup ADMIN (i don't physically remove the machine
from Subnet A, but only change the workgroup setting in network properties),
then computers in Subnet B can access the computer in Subnet A with no
problem.

The problem, therefore, seems to be having a different workgroup in a
separate subnet?  Does anyone have advice concerning this problem. The
relevant portions of my smb.conf follows :

[global]

   workgroup = ADMIN
   debug level =3
   log level = 3
   comment = Samba Server
   guest account = guest
   null passwords = yes
   guest ok = yes
   public = yes
   load printers = yes
   printcap name = lpstat
   printing = sysv
   log file = /usr/samba/var/log.%m
   max log size = 50
   short preserve case = no
   preserve case = yes
   lock directory = /usr/samba/var/lock/
   locking = yes
   share modes = yes
   security = user
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   logon script = %U.bat
   local master = yes
   os level = 65
   remote announce = 132.239.121.255/LAB
   remote sync = 132.239.151.255
   domain master = yes
   preferred master = yes
   domain logons = yes
   wins support = yes
   wins proxy = yes




Thanks for any information,
