[Samba] SAMBA netbois lookup issues

[Trimble, Ronald D]

Not if they are all in the DNS server and the new samba server is not.

My VPN Address is in a Virtual Pool on the Firewall I am using.  I am
able
to connect to any other server other than a Samba server.  If it was a
network related issue would it not be having a problem on all the
servers?

Is your VPN server on the same segment?  I only ask because in our
company, our VPN segment is isolated with it's own DNS servers.  My
guess is that when you come in via VPN, you are using a different DNS
server and you are not registered.  Instead, you are using NetBIOS for
name resolution.  Try putting an A host record on the DNS server used by
your VPN server.

Hi all!

 

I am from the Windows world and am trying to migrate to Linux and have
done
a fairly good job so far.  

 

My recent challenge is that I have built a Samba file/print server that
works very well on my internal network but when I VPN into the network
remotely I am unable to access the server via it's server name.  What is
driving me crazy is the fact that the last of my Windows servers is a
file/print server as well and I am able to access it without issues.  Is
this a simple NetBios Port change or is this something else that I am
missing?  

 

If anyone has some pointers as to what I can do to resolve this issue I
would be grateful.

 

Thank you

 

James Taylor
