Hi list!

I've got a debian "etch" box running samba 3.0.24.
The server is a firewall (running Shorewall 3.2.6) with five NICs:
eth0 -> DSL (it has a public IP address and it allows all the people browse by masquerading other interfaces)
eth1 and eth3 -> bond0 (IP address is 192.168.1.1/24)
eth2 and eth4 -> bond1 (IP address is 192.168.2.1/24)
BTW, bond+ refers to an interface which enslaves two physical NICs.

Samba is acting as WINS server, and I don't have other Windows Servers which acts as PDCs or WINS servers.
There is no PDC in the network.

The smb.conf is the following (only [global] section is reported):
[global]
        workgroup = WORK
        server string = server Etch
interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, 10.1.0.0/24, 127.0.0.1/8
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        obey pam restrictions = Yes
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
        syslog = 0
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 1000
        dns proxy = No
        wins support = Yes
        ldap ssl = no
        panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
        invalid users = root
        hosts allow = 192.168.1., 192.168.2., 10.1., 127.
10.1.0.0/24 is a subnet for OpenVPN roadwarriors.

The problem is that from my laptop (belonging to 192.168.1.0/24 subnet), running Windows XP Pro SP2, in the Network Neighbourhood I can only see machines belonging to my subnet. Machine of the other subnet are not listed, even if I can reach them (e.g. \\machine shows me shares and printers). The same for machines belonging to the second subnet, with the difference that they can only see machines in their subnet. I checked the firewall, and apparently there are no rules which block broadcast traffic between the two subnets.

Any hint is GREATLY appreciated.

TIA
