Hello Samba experts,
Please read all email because i'm desperate!!!!!
I have problem on joining to LAN-s using Samba. Finally i got a solution to
"see" booth workgroups on "Entire Network", but i'm having problem with
stations located in LAN2. From any station located in LAN1, I can see LAN2
workgroup and the browse list with stations located in LAN2, but when i'm
tring to access and station in it, i get connection refused. I want to
mention that acces by IP address is working (eg: \\192.168.1.72)!!! It seems
to be a probelm related to browse list and my wins server.
From any station located in LAN2, i can access by name each networked
station in LAN1.
My networks scheme is printed below:
(LAN1=192.168.1.48 network and 192.168.1.63 broadcast)
--LAN1 (192.168.1.48/240)--
|
|
|
|
(192.168.1.49)
Gateway/RouterA
(83.84.85.86)
|
|
Internet
|
|
(83.84.85.87)
Gateway/RouterB
(192.168.1.65)
|
|
|
|
--LAN2 (192.168.1.64/224)--
(LAN2=192.168.1.64 network and 192.168.1.95 broadcast)
I have bidirectional ping between to/from any station located in my LANS.
All stations from LAN1 and LAN2 are WindowsXP(SP2) and has firewall
disabled.
Booth Routers (A and B - RHEL 3.0) has samba installed and Router A is used
as VPN server (tunel address 10.1.0.1) and RouterB is used as VPN client
(tunel address 10.1.0.2).
Here comes my smb.conf file from RouterA which i want to be used as WINS
server by all my windows clients:
[global]
workgroup = LAN1
netbios name = router-LAN1
server string = Samba
interfaces = 192.168.1.49/28 192.168.1.95/27 127.0.0.1/8 10.1.0.1/24
bind interfaces only = yes
remote announce = 192.168.1.49/LAN1 192.168.1.65/LAN2
remote browse sync = 192.168.1.63 192.168.1.95 #broadcast address LAN1 and
LAN2
public = yes
browseable = yes
browse list = yes
auto services = yes
announce as = NT
os level = 200
local master = yes
prefered master = yes
domain master = yes
name resolve order = wins
wins support = yes
Here comes my smb.conf file from RouterB (WINS client and Local Master
Browser for LAN2).
[global]
workgroup = LAN2
netbios name = router-LAN2
server string = Samba
interfaces = 192.168.1.65/27 192.168.1.63/28 127.0.0.1/8 10.1.0.2/24
bind interfaces only = yes
remote announce = 192.168.1.65/LAN2 192.168.1.49/LAN1
remote browse sync = 192.168.1.63 192.168.1.95 #broadcast address LAN1 and
LAN2
#politica de browsing si metoda de translatie ip->nume
announce as = NT
os level = 200
local master = yes
prefered master = yes
domain master = yes
name resolve order = wins
wins server = 192.168.1.49
Each Windows XP station from LAN2, has configured manually WINS server at
192.168.1.49.
Also, on each LAN workgroup, i can see and access router-LAN1 and
router-LAN2 which is not exactly what i really want (router-LAN1 should be
present in WORKGROUP LAN1 and router-LAN2 should be present in WORKGROUP
LAN2)
More then that, if i'm tring to access from router-LAN2 a station located in
LAN2, i get this error:
# smbclient -L an13
Connection to an13 failed
...but browsing list is returned ok by router from LAN2:
# smbclient -L router-LAN2
Password:
Domain=[LAN2] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.9-1.3E.1]
