[Samba] Samba, workgroup and Windows Wins in different subnet

[Romain Pélissier]

Hi,
I hope that someone could help me because I am a real newby in Samba and have a tons of questions about this apps.
 
My first question is : how works samba when it act as a wins client (not server) ?
 
I have 2 subnets in my company, the 205.205.247.0 is a windows segment with wins.
the second one is 192.168.251.0 for the training classroom.
The gateway where Samba is installed is used both as a proxy server, central point of accessing the net, dhcp server for the training segment.
Looks like this :
 
 
205.205.247.0 (Windows with Active Directory domain)----------------------------
                                                                                                                    |
                                                                                                            Gateway (squid)--------> Internet
                                                                                                                    |
                                                                                                            DHCP, Samba
                                                                                                                    |
192.168.251.0 (workgroup training) ---------------------------------------------------
 
I have  tried to configure samba so it can work with the windows wins server on the 205.205.247.0 segment and it seems to works. All client in the 192.x.x.x segment have the Windows wins server registred and when I look at the records in the wins server, the pcs from the training network appear with their workgroup (I can see the records) but for an unknow reason, I can't see the workgroup training in my windows domain.
I will put my configuration here, hoping that someone can give me the best pratice to make my windows domain, windows wins and samba work well together.
