Hi all...

I just took up a social service work for my school when my principal
requested me to set up a proxy server for them. It was done abt 5 yrs
ago and the machine is almost in its last breath. So, I told them to get
a new machine.. and I installed CentOS4.3 (oh yes, I know i bitched abt
it.. )

I have no idea how the current machine was set up.. with some
assumptions I was able to figure out stuff and got the proxy (Squid) up
and running... and suddenly i am thrown a bomb..  There is a Webserver
managed by . .ehh.. i guess direct-i and it has dedicated ipaddr just
like the proxy server i had configured.
This webserver runs on windows.. and it has couple of drives shared for
access by clients.
Now, branches of this school across india sends updated reports to this
server and it is stored on the shared drive. This drive needs to be
accessed by machines on LAN. These clients are connected to proxy server
by ip class of 192.168.2.xx whereas the webserver is 203.something with
subnet of 255.255.255.0 ..
Now webserver is also routed thru the proxy server but with dedicated
ip.. (thats what is told to me); the issue that i am facing is that the
LAN clients aren't able to do file charing amongst themselves and with
the main shared drive on the webserver!

How do i get the webserver with different ip class on local file sharing
with clients at calss C ip?


Webserver (windows)           Proxy Server (CentOS)           Local
Clients (win98/xp)
ip: 203.94.xx.xx                  connected to router                   
ip class of
subnet: /24                       at eth1: 192.168.1.1(also GW)     
192.168.2.xx
gw: 203.94.xx.bb                 eth0: 203.94.xx.xx                   
Gw: 192.168.2.250
and 192.168.2.250               eth0:0 192.168.2.250
D: drive shared                          httpd: on
and updated via                         squid: on
internet                                    smb: off (on request)


the above is a general idea.
You will see that win Webserver has two gateways.. one is that of the
squid proxy server.

Proxy is running fine... but Local Clients are not able to access shared
folder on Webserver.

How do i make it possible?
Any one who has idea what needs to be done?

It would be a great help..

thanks in advance
