I have built my own wireless AP with Ubuntu 7.10 and an Atheros-based

The same clients, when using their LAN ports to connect to the same
server, are able to do everything--browse and access Samba shares. I
have experimented with the smb.conf file to include the wireless AP's
device (ath0), subnet and even allowing it to bind on all interfaces.
During those times, samba *does* bind on the device/device's IP when
doing 'netstat -tln'.
I have also checked my firewall settings. The rules I have for my local
LAN on eth1 is identical to ath0 so I don't see a problem there. In fact
I can do everything on my wireless clients except Samba.
Here are some details of my setup:
Ubuntu 7.10 server
eth0 - ADSL modem; running pppoe
eth1 - local LAN
ath0 - wireless LAN
madwifi drivers for Atheros chips
hostapd to handle WPA2+PSK authentication
iptables for IP filtering
samba3
Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance.
What happens if you do an smbclient -L //{IP of WIFI card} from the
server? Do you get a list of shares?
I'm assuming that you've proofed out the WIFI side of things (i.e. the
wireless clients can ping the server etc. etc.)?
Also make sure there's no NAT on the WIFI interface screwing things up -
iptables -t nat -L

As I am at work at the moment I cannot try it but I'm pretty sure it
would fail since my client's shares are disabled. :P When I said
everything else works that includes having to access the following
services of the server: http, ftp and ssh. My server is also a file
server so I have no problems accessing my files via FTP/SFTP.
