Trying all the stupid methods to solve the issue of Win2k hosts from different subnets that can't be seen in the NetworkNeighbourhood when server is Samba on Linux (including reading the F***ing manuals and not finding anything useful or browsing through the source of samba until my eyes fall in my mouth) I have decided that they were, well... ,stupid and chose to try crappy solutions! One of them worked!
As I have a network of more subnets linked through routers that communicate via the internet, I instructed all routers to send the netbios broadcast packets from their subnets to the linux server. Now all the computers show in the NN, without any difficulty in access. And the issue of clogging the net with broadcast packets isn't that grave, as they are small and transmited only from time to time. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
