I haven't used the remote annouce or wins proxy feature- I think that
is for a samba server on one subnet to relay wins stuff to the Samba
WINS server on another subnet.
The simplest thing is probably to have all clients- regardless of
subnet- point to a single WINS server. Your wins server should have
"wins server=yes" but don't use wins proxy.
It looks like remote announce is to make a samba server on one subnet
show up on another subnet that doesn't help the other machines see
each other across subnets.
Alternately I THINK you can have a samba server configured a wins
server on one subnet (wins support=yes_ , and then have the samba server
on the 2nd subnet configured as a wins client/wins proxy (wins proxy=yes
, wins server = IP-of-the-wins-server.)
The "wins server" param is used to tell the machine to be a client of
the specified wins server.

Hi,
The pc that runs the samba server is my own property, it also dubs as
router and dhcp server. I assign WINS server to the clients by dhcp
using dnsmasq. I do not need or want to setup a domain. I just want
to share files between the two networks using windows neighborhood
and a workgroup, just like the clients would have been connected in
the same network.
I have deleted the "remote anounce" thingy but the error is the same:
"The network path could not be found"
WINS needs to be set up correctly.
Maybe something has to do with the firewall? can you tell me which
ports to open and their direction ?
Ports 137, 138, 139, and 445 should be sufficient.

Hi,
you have a (Samba)domain server and it is your wins?
You just to have an entry in your win xp clients wins-server:
YourSambaWinsServer.Enable Netbios over TCP
..
That is all. No: remote announce = 192.168.5.255/WORKGROUP
192.168.7.255/WORKGROUP
This is working for me with 3 subnets.

Hi to everyone on the mailing list.
I have two networks at home, apart from the internet. One is the wired
network, LAN, and the other is the wireless network, WLAN. They need to
be separated, not bridged, because of hardware issues.
I am trying to setup inter-networking browsing on these networks, pc's
on
LAN should see and browse pc's on WLAN
and viceversa.
After reading the manual I have enabled wins server master and wins
proxy
in samba configuration. However I can only see the pc's from the other
network, but I cannot
browse them, windows returns an error like "network path could not be
found".
The samba server runs on my router box, together with the firewall
(managed through shorewall) and dnsmasq for dhcp/dns.
Below is my global smb.conf part.
[global]
server
string = Samba Server
interfaces = eth1, lo, wlan0
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
announce as = NT Workstation
os level = 99
lm interval = 10
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins proxy = Yes
wins support = Yes
remote announce = 192.168.5.255/WORKGROUP
192.168.7.255/WORKGROUP
create mask = 0666
case sensitive = No
preserve case = No
short preserve
case = No
hide special files = Yes
map hidden = Yes
store dos attributes = Yes
Thanks.
