[Samba] Fw: PDC/wins on multiple networks

[Gala Dragos]

Hi,


The pc that runs the samba server is my own property, it also dubs as router and dhcp server. I assign WINS server to the clients by dhcp using dnsmasq. I do not need or want to setup a domain. I just want to share files between the two networks using windows neighborhood and a workgroup, just like the clients would have been connected in the same network.

I have deleted the "remote anounce" thingy but the error is the same: "The network path could not be found"

Maybe something has to do with the firewall? can you tell me which ports to open and their direction ?

Hi,
you have a (Samba)domain server and it is your wins?
You just to have an entry in your win xp clients wins-server:
YourSambaWinsServer.Enable Netbios over TCP
.
That is all. No: remote announce = 192.168.5.255/WORKGROUP 
192.168.7.255/WORKGROUP
This is working for me with 3 subnets.
