[ snip ] OK, we have a test environment: two (2) DCD gatewayed networks separated by the Internet. The DCD-DCD tunnels works as expected, ip-wise. We put a wins server on one side; but, that did not make windoze all of that windoze functionality possible. So, we blew away that wins server and put samba (nmb-207.lrp) on each gateway. It's taken some tweaking and reading man smb.conf <http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html>. Still, windoze functionality is severely lacking across the wan! Do the samba servers need to communicate with each other? If so, the DCD gateways cannot ping each other, because they are concurrent with the gateway itself -- although, from anywhere else on the remote network, we can ping the opposite gateway by private address.
