I believe your broadcast addresses on the linux box are set wrong. If
you are using 192.168.111.0/24 and 192.168.222.0/24 as your IP networks,
you should be using 192.168.111.255 and 192.168.222.255 as your
broadcast addresses respectively. This may be why the Windows machines
aren't picking up NetBios broadcasts from the Samba server.

 

HTH,

Subject: [Samba] Trouble browsing on different nets.

 

 

I’m not sure if this even SHOULD work
 I can’t find anything really
useful in the documentation.

 

I have a RedHat 7.3 system in the DMZ of our network, its address is
192.168.222.10, broadcast address is 192.168.222.254

 

I firewall, linux based with 3 ports, the 192.168.222.0 net (DMZ), the
“outside world” on one port and the internal network is 192.168.111.0,
broadcasting on 192.168.111.254.

 

 

So, on the internal network are Windows XP workstations, these can
“search computers” and find the linux on the DMZ by name, they can
connect to it if given the network address or name (the name – network
address translation is done in the Windows’ hosts files) and also browse
the samba shares.

 

BUT
 Here’s the problem
  The linux (Samba) server never shows up in the
Windows’ Network neighbourhood, which would be very good for those who
aren’t too familiar with networking.  Can anyone please help me out
here?

 

Thank you,

Anders.
