Hello!

I have two LAN with pfSense:

192.168.0.1/24 (LAN)
192.168.10.1/24 (OPT1)

All traffic from LAN to OPT1 is permitted. At LAN I have a Samba server 
working as "Master Browser" and WINS server.

Traffic from OPT to Samba server at LAN is allowed (137, 138, 139 and 445 
ports). File sharing is done without problems.

I'm using DHCP with pfSense and all machines have the WINS server configured 
by DHCP.

However it is impossible to see "Near Computers" with Windows clients (and I 
hope it will be the same with no-Windows Samba Clients).

I read a lot of documentation. A WINS server is needed in order to see 
NetBIOS names between different LANs. And only one WINS server for the hole 
LANs.

No problem if we type \\computer to access to other machines, but we can't 
list the machines from one LAN to other ...

At our FreeBSD 6.1 working with Samba we tried:

# nmblookup -U localhost -R pc25
querying pc25 on 127.0.0.1
192.168.10.45 pc25<00>

# nmblookup pc25
querying pc25 on 192.168.0.255
name_query failed to find name pc25

# nmblookup -B 192.168.255.255 -R pc25
querying pc25 on 192.168.255.255
name_query failed to find name pc25

# nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 -R pc25
querying pc25 on 192.168.1.255
192.168.1.45 pc25<00>

pc25 is a machine at the OPT1 side.

Any idea?
