[Samba] RE: Can't find samba server after new NIC installed

[Ow Mun Heng]

I'm using Redhat 8.0. I can't understand why that would be the case since
it's been working fine before the eth1 was put in. I think I need to dig
into it more and look into your idea..

Hi,
is it possible you have a local firewall installed which blocks access
over eth1? If this is a recent linux-distro (suse/redhat) this is verry
likely to happen.
