Carlo
 you choose the card access point rather than a $100 router 
say a dlink 640T which JustWorks(tm). This mess is what you wanted ...

I would assume then you should have an IP address configured on device 
br0, and this is also the interface ARP entries of your clients appear 
(view with arp -a)


If this is not the case we might need more info (not having played 
with Linux bridging for a while)


I did not bridge my wifi device with my ethernet as I wanted to separate 
the subnets for both networks (for more control). Someone in the Samba 
list mentioned that it sounds like an MTU problem. Will play around with 
MTU settings when I get home...

I have also checked my firewall settings. The rules I have for my

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

Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance.

[SLUG] Strange behaviour of Samba3 with wireless clients

2008-03-03 Thread Carlo Sogono 
I have built my own wireless AP with Ubuntu 7.10 and an Atheros-based 
wireless card. My problem is that I can't access any of the Samba shares 
with my wireless clients...they can all search for the server, get 
prompted for a login then it just hangs and eventually times out.


The same clients, when using their LAN ports to connect to the same 
server are able to do everything. 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

Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance.
