Presumably pc on subnet1 does NOT need to access a share from 192.168.7.1 since it can access 192.168.5.1. Presumably pc on subnet2 does NOT need to access a share from 192.168.5.1 since it can access 192.168.7.1.

If you have a dual homed server + a router between subnets your routing could get a little tricky when access shares on the "other subnet" IP of the samba server. Or is the samba server also the router?

But to clarify your issue is that a /*single-homed client */ PC on subnet1 (e.g. LIVINGROOM) can not access shares on single-homed client PC on subnet2 (e.g. ACERJUNKI)- even though they can ping each other?


It seems that WINS is not the problem.

all pc are allocated ip's from their respective subnet via dhcp.

a pc on subnet 1 cannot access a share from e pc on subnet 2, not even by ip. 
Same happens from subnet 2 to subnet 1.


The firewall is setup as to allow all traffic between the 2 subnets, 
effectively considering them as a single zone (I use shorewall as an UI to 
iptables)

I have not specified any ports in smb.conf, but I have binded samba to the 
required ethernet interface.

Here is the wins.dat. I can see references from both subnets.
