My network topology is changing. One of my network segments that used to be hard-wired will now be connecting to the rest of the network through DSL, with a layer of OpenVPN on top. I am having the hardest time getting any form of cross-subnet browsing or WINS working.
My PDC is called CORPSRV. It has the following IPs: 192.168.1.1 <external IP> 192.168.100.5 (OpenVPN) The DMB on the remote subnet is called FURNSRV. It has the following IPs: 192.168.2.1 192.168.100.1 (OpenVPN) Here are the relevant parts of CORPSRV's smb.conf: os level = 255 wins support = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes remote announce = '192.168.2.1/CORP' '192.168.4.1/CORP' remote browse sync = '192.168.2.1' '192.168.4.1' name resolve order = wins bcast host interfaces = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.1 192.168.100.5/255.255.255.0 bind interfaces only = yes hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.4.0/24 192.168.6.0/24 192.168.100.0/24 127.0.0.1 Here are the relevant parts of FURNSRV's smb.conf: security = domain password server = 192.168.1.1 wins server = 192.168.1.1 wins support = no wins proxy = yes name resolve order = wins bcast lmhosts host dns proxy = no local master = yes domain master = no preferred master = yes os level = 65 remote browse sync = 192.168.1.1 interfaces = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.1 192.168.100.1/255.255.255.0 bind interfaces only = yes hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.4.0/24 192.168.6.0/24 192.168.100.0/24 I can ping each server's IP from the other server. The following nmblookup commands both work: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/samba# nmblookup -U 192.168.2.1 FURNSRV params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/printers.smb" added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.168.100.5 bcast=192.168.100.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Socket opened. querying FURNSRV on 192.168.2.1 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.2.1 ( 192.168.100.1 192.168.2.1 ) 192.168.100.1 FURNSRV<00> 192.168.2.1 FURNSRV<00> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/samba# nmblookup -U 192.168.1.1 corpsrv added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 added interface ip=192.168.2.1 bcast=192.168.2.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.168.100.1 bcast=192.168.100.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Socket opened. querying corpsrv on 192.168.1.1 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.1.1 ( 192.168.100.5 192.168.1.1 ) 192.168.100.5 corpsrv<00> 192.168.1.1 corpsrv<00> I can mount shares on each server from the other, using IP addresses. But I can't make FURNSRV join CORP, and I can't resolve FURNSRV via CORPSRV's WINS server. I know that part of the problem is that OpenVPN uses interfaces that do not allow broadcast traffic. But I thought specifying the WINS server and using the 'remote announce' directives would fix that. I would appreciate any help at all! Thanks so much, Misty No virus found in this outgoing message.
