Hello dudes!

Im running Red Hat Linux Enterprise 4 as a Gateway/Firewall with samba 3.0.10.


[HTML] internet
|
-------------------
| GW FW HTTP SMB ...|
-------------------
| NIC: 192.168.2.1
--------------------------
| | NIC: 192.168.2.2

WINDOWS XP client
NIC: 192.168.3.2[/HTML]


From 192.168.2.50 I can access the shared samba folders but form 192.168.3.2 I cannot.
The Firewall configuration accepts input, output and forward by default and it is not running dhcp and DNS services. Everyone has inet access.

My smb.conf file is:

[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = Samba Server
host allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 192.168.3. 127.
security = share
interfaces = 192.168.2.1/24 192.168.1.2/24
remote browse sync = 192.168.1.255 192.168.2.255 192.168.3.255
remote announce = 192.168.1.255/MYGROUP 192.168.2.255/MYGROUP 192.168.3.255/MYGROUP
local master = yes
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
template shell = /bind/false
winbind use default domain = no
[test]
comment = Test
path = /export/samba/test (chmod 777)
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = yes
public = yes


Why I dont see the shared folders from 192.168.3.0 network?

Many thanks in advance![HTML][/HTML]

you need to make sure that broadcasts actually get to the 192.168.3.x network. I don't think this is standard routing behaviour.

here's a way to solve it posted on a samba mailing list. basically you need to put a 2nd samba server in the 192.168.3.x subnet that syncs with your main samba server and communicates with the xp clients there.

Thanks rtspitz. I need to make it works with only one samba server. Hope someone can shed some ligth on this, meanwhile Im trying with different routers to see if I can broadcast to 192.168.3.0 (thanks for the advice).

Still looking for a solution but here is a similar problem advicing to purchase DLink products that supports SMB/CIFS:
