Hi,
I've been running Samba 3.5.18 on ClearOS 5.2 for a while now. I have a
server on its own LAN's (192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.3.0/24) and an IPSec
VPN through to 192.168.10.0/24. The remote LAN is just one machine on
the other side of a router. I've been successfully seeing its netbios
name and I've been able to ping the remote PC by name and browse it and
vice versa. A few weeks ago I upgraded to ClearOS 6.3 with Samba 3.6.7
and with the same config I can no longer use the remote PC's name or
browse it. Both ends of the VPN are on the same Workgroup.
I believe these are the relevant bits of smb.conf:
[global]
# General
netbios name = Server
workgroup = HOME
server string = Server
# Network
bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = lo eth2 eth1
smb ports = 139 445
# WINS
wins support = Yes
wins server =
# Other
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
remote announce = 192.168.10.255 192.168.10.120
hosts allow = 127.0.0.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24 192.168.10.0/24
10.8.0.0/24
With 3.6.7 I also use:
max protocol = SMB2
The remote PC is running WinXP.
In my log files in /var/log/samba I see logs for mum-blue - the remote
PC - as it connects to a shared drive. On the XP machine I am forcing it
yo use NetBIOS over TCP/IP and its WINS server entry is pointing to my
server. Its firewall is open to UDP/TCP 137-139 and 445. The PC is on
192.168.10.120.
Have I got something wrong or is there a problem with Samba?
Regards,
Nick
