good morning all,

i have an interesting issue with browsing.

details:
i have three subnets.  (subnet1, subnet2, and subnet3)
i have a samba server on each subnet. (samba1, samba2, and samba3)
i have a windows 2000 server on subnet1.  (m$1)
samba1 is the domain master and wins server with ip 192.168.0.1
win2k clients authenticate to their local server and wins is set to
192.168.0.1.

when i run a net view \\m$1 from a win2k client on subnet2 or subnet3, i get
"system error 53 has occurred.  the network path was not found." message.

when i run a net view \\samba1 or \\samba2 from the same win2k client,
everything is fine. (shared resources at ....)

when i run a net view \\m$1 from a win2k client on subnet1, everything is
fine. (shared resources at ....)

pertinent information from smb.conf of samba1
os level = 65
name resolve order = wins host lmhosts bcast
domain logons = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
wins support = yes

pertinent information from smb.conf of samba2 and samba3
os level = 65
name resolve order = wins host lmhosts bcast
domain logons = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = no
wins server = 192.168.0.1
local master = yes

m$1 appears in browse.dat on both samba2 and samba3.

any ideas?
