Hi,

I have the below shown network setup.

             IP from ISP
             -----------
             | Gateway |<-NATed and Firewalled (E-mail and web server)
             -----------
                  | 192.168.0.1
                  |
  ---------------------------------
  |          |          |         |
  |.2        |.3        |.4       |.5
-------    -------    -------   -------
|SAMBA|    |Clnt |    |Clnt |   |Routr|<-Wireless Router
-------    -------    -------   -------
          Samba OK   Samba OK     | 192.168.1.1
          WWW   OK   WWW   OK     |
                            -------------
                            |           |
                 192.168.1.2|           |192.168.1.3
                         -------     -------
           Wired Client->|Clnt |     |Clnt |<-Wireless Client
                         -------     -------
                         Samba No    Samba No
                         WWW   OK    WWW   OK

The samba server can be accessed from the clients directly connected to 
the gateway and can connect to the internet without any problem.

 From the clients behind the router... everything (Internet, E-mail) is 
okay. And also telnet 192.168.0.2 works good. But when the samba server 
is searched from the Client (192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.3 both running 
windows XP) it fails. Does it have to do anything with samba? I have set 
"hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. 192.168.1." in the samba server 
configuration.

Please help.

Thank you
Sampath Ganji
