[Samba] Samba 3 master browser on two networks plus WINS

[Gala Dragos]

Subnet 1 : 
192.168.5.1/24, wins 192.168.5.1

subnet 2:
192.168.7.1/24, wins 192.168.7.1

all pc are allocated ip's from their respective subnet via dhcp.

a pc on subnet 1 cannot access a share from e pc on subnet 2, not even by ip. Same happens from subnet 2 to subnet 1.


The firewall is setup as to allow all traffic between the 2 subnets, effectively considering them as a single zone (I use shorewall as an UI to iptables)

I have not specified any ports in smb.conf, but I have binded samba to the required ethernet interface.

Here is the wins.dat. I can see references from both subnets.
