I am having an issue with a new samba setup. My gateway server (H1 - the
new setup) is running Samba and acting as my networks wins server. It also
houses my email and web server. It is connected to a private network to
another server (H3) running Samba acting as my main file server.
The issue that I am experiencing is that H3 can view our webpage that is
hosted on H1 but my Windows machines that are connected to H3's subnet can
not. If I try to ping H1 from H3 it resolves the name properly. If I ping
H1 from the windows boxes it returns the external IP address and times out
on the requests. i hope that I have presented that clearly.
H1 is fully qualified in the host files on H1 and H3.
H1's smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = admin
server string = Web Server
netbios name = h1
netbios aliases = mailserver
interfaces = lo 192.168.4.0/24
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1. 192.168.4. 192.168.5. 192.168.6.
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
encrypt passwords = yes
security = user
passdb backend = smbpasswd
smbpasswd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
domain master = no
local master = no
os level = 32
preferred master = no
wins support = yes
name resolve order = hosts wins lmhosts bcast
wins proxy = yes
dns proxy = yes
H3's smb.conf
[global]
netbios name = h3
workgroup = ADMIN
server string = Administration Samba Server
security = user
hosts allow = 192.168.4. 192.168.5. 192.168.6. 192.168.1. 192.168.0. 127.
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
passdb backend = smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
interfaces = 192.168.4.3 192.168.6.1 127.0.0.1
remote announce = 192.168.5.255 192.168.4.255 192.168.0.255
local master = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon path =
logon home =
logon script = %U.bat
wins server = 192.168.4.1
wins proxy = yes
dns proxy = yes
add machine script = /usr/sbin/adduser -n -g machines -c Machine -d
/dev/null -s /bin/false %u
I left out the Samba shares but I think any main configurations are present.
This machine is a rebuild and I didn't have this issue before. The main
difference is that this server now has two external facing nics to two
different interent connections. I don't think routing is the issue because
H3 can resolve H1's name correctly and display the web page.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me!
